Abstract:Unveiling materials' corrosion pathways is significant for understanding the corrosion mechanisms and designing corrosionresistant materials. Here, we investigate the corrosion behavior of Sn@Ni 3 Sn 4 and Sn nanocrystals in an aqueous solution in real time by using high-resolution liquid cell transmission electron microscopy. Our direct observation reveals an unprecedented level of detail on the corrosion of Sn metal with/without a coating of Ni 3 Sn 4 at the nanometric and atomic levels. The Sn@Ni 3 Sn 4 nan… Show more
