Spring Series In-Situ Holders（Heating&Electrochemistry)

Product Features

A liquid-environment nanolab is constructed within the in-situ sample stage using MEMS micromachining technology. Thermal fields, electrical signals, and other stimuli are applied to thin-film or nanobattery systems via the MEMS chip. By combining multiple characterization modes including EDS, EELS, SAED, HRTEM, and STEM, real-time and dynamic monitoring is achieved at the nanoscale or even atomic scale. This monitoring covers key information such as the microstructural evolution, reaction kinetics, phase transitions, elemental valence states, chemical changes, microstress, and atomic-scale structural/compositional evolution at the surfaces/interfaces of electrodes, electrolytes, and their interfaces in the liquid environment, as these materials respond to variations in temperature and electrical signals.

Highest resolution in the industry	·1.Unique MEMS processing technology, with a silicon nitride film thickness of up to 10nm in the chip window area.
	·2.The chip packaging adopts a double insurance method of bonding inner seal and epoxy resin outer seal, making the thinnest interlayer between the chips only about 100-200 nm. The ultra-thin interlayer greatly reduces interference with the electron beam, allowing for clear observation of the atomic arrangement of the sample, and achieving atomic level resolution in the liquid phase environment.
	3.Specially designed chip window shape can avoid the thickening of liquid layer caused by the bulging of silicon nitride film, which may affect the resolution.
High security	·1.The common liquid sample holders of other brands on the market， due to the limitations of their own liquid pool chip design scheme, can only drive a large flow of liquid through the sample stage and the peripheral area of the chip through the huge pressure generated by the liquid pump，which poses a safety hazard of a large amount of liquid leakage. The liquid mainly enters the nano pores in the middle of the chip through diffusion effect，and there is no real flow rate control in the chip observation window.
	·2.Adopting patented nanofluidic technology, fluid differential control is achieved through a piezoelectric micro control system to achieve nano upgraded micro fluid transportation. The redundant liquid volume in the in-situ nanofluidic system and sample holder is only slightly increased, effectively ensuring the safety of the electron microscope.
	·3.Adopt the polymer membrane surface contact sealing technology，compared with the O-ring sealing,the sealing contact area is increased,effectively reduce the risk of leakage.
	·4.Using ultra-high temperature coating technology, the silicon nitride film in the window area of the chip has advantages such as high temperature resistance,low stress,pressure resistance, corrosion resistance,and radiation resistance.
Unique multi-field coupling technology	·It can realize multi-field coupling of light，electricity，heat and fluid in liquid phase environment.
Excellent thermal properties	·1.High precision infrared temperature calibration, micron level high resolution thermal field measurement and calibration，to ensure the accuracy of temperature.
	·2.The high stability have precious metal heating wire(non-ceramic material)， it is not only a thermal guide material but also a thermal sensitive material. Its resistance has a good linear relationship with temperature.The heating area covers the whole observa tion area，and the heating and cooling speed is fast，and the thermal field is stable and uniform. Temperature fluctuation in steady state less than±0.01℃.
	·3．Adopt the closed loop high-frequency dynamic control and feedback of ambient temperature control method，high-frequency feedback control to eliminate errors，achieving temperature control accuracy of ±0.01℃.
	·4.Unique multi-stage composite heating MEMS chip design, controls the heat diffusi on during heating process, greatly inhibits the heat drift during heating process, and ensures the efficient observation of the experiment.
Intelligent software and automation equipment	·1.Man-machine separation, software remote adjustment laser band and intensity，program automatic control of tilt Angle.
Intelligent software and automation equipment	·2.The whole process is equipped with precision automation equipment to assist manual operation and improve experimental efficiency.
Advantages of R&D team	·1.Team leaders participated in the development and complet ion of in situ liquid phase TEM at the early stage of development.
	·2.Our team independently designed in-situ chips，mastered the core technology of chips，and owned multiple chip patents.
	·3.Our team has more than 20 people engaged in in-situ liquid phase TEM research, which can provide technical support for in-situ experiments in multiple research directions.
