摘要
Direct visualization of lead sulfide nanoparticle growth is demonstrated by selectively decomposing a chemical precursor from a multicomponent solution using in situ liquid transmission electron microscopy. We demonstrate reproducible control over growth mechanisms that dictate the final morphology of nanostructures while observing growth in real-time with subnanometer spatial resolution. Furthermore, while an intense electron beam can initiate nanoparticle growth, it is also shown that a laser can trigger the reaction independently of the imaging electrons.
