Studying catalytic mechanisms requires understanding how materials behave during reactions, where structure, chemistry, and performance continuously evolve. These processes must be observed under realistic reaction environments, while conventional electron microscopy is often limited to pre- or post-reaction analysis, making it difficult to capture these dynamic processes.
In-situ and operando TEM enable direct observation under working conditions. Hummingbird Scientific extends this capability with stable imaging across gas, liquid, and electrochemical environments, and experiments at up to 2 bar and above 1000 °C, allowing catalysts to be studied under realistic conditions with high reproducibility.
Real-time catalyst behavior during reactions
Observe catalyst restructuring, degradation, and active-site evolution during reactions under operando conditions, overcoming the limitations of post-reaction analysis and enabling direct identification of activity and deactivation mechanisms.
Structure–performance relationships in real time
Correlate nanoscale structure with catalytic activity and selectivity during reactions, linking morphology, composition, and oxidation state directly to performance, which are otherwise difficult to resolve without real-time observation.
Realistic reaction conditions at high temperature and controlled pressures
Study catalysts under controlled gas and liquid environments at elevated temperatures with stable imaging performance, ensuring behavior can be observed under realistic conditions rather than approximated.
- Temperatures above 1000 °C with minimal drift
- Controlled gas and liquid environments
- Stable imaging without drift correction
Catalyst restructuring and phase transformations
Capture dynamic structural and chemical changes during reactions, including restructuring, phase transformations, and active-site evolution, which are often not accessible through static or ex-situ analysis.
