Atomic‐Scale Insights into Nanoparticle Exsolution at Dislocations in Dislocation‐Engineered Catalysts

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study reveals an atomic‐level correlation between bulk dislocations and the exsolution of surface nanoparticles through a novel approach for dislocation engineering in epitaxial thin films. Employing in situ scanning transmission electron microscopy, two primary reasons for the frequent nucleation of dislocation‐associated nanoparticles are ...
