Abstract

A new design of in situ liquid cells is demonstrated, providing the first nanometer resolution elemental mapping of nanostructures in solution. The technique has been applied to investigate dynamic liquid-phase synthesis of core–shell nanostructures and to simultaneously image the compositional distribution for multiple elements within the resulting materials.
