Pressure-Driven Liquid Actuation for in situ TEM Observation of Fluid Mixing

摘要

Liquid cells enable the TEM observation of fluids, but are often limited in their ability to investigate phenomena that arerndependent on reactant gradients or mixing. A new method for initiating fluid flow and mixing within a liquid cell structure usingrnelectrolysis and microchannel geometry is explored. A prototype device is presented that allows for the direct observation of thernflow mechanism which will enable the development of fully-integrated flow devices for in situ TEM experiments.
