Abstract

Revealing the response of materials to thermal excitation is crucial since they generally undergo distinct structural transformations when synthesized with different heating processes and should frequently work at varying temperatures. Therefore, in-situ heating TEM has become an indispensable tool for atomic-scale dynamic analysis to link fine structures to properties and performance. In contrast to postmortem characterization of materials before and after heat treatment, in-situ heating TEM can offer unique direct evidence for structural or chemical changes within the samples. This chapter firstly introduces a brief history of in-situ heating TEM. Then, a review of current related technologies is provided, such as operation mode for imaging, different types of heating holders, microheaters related knowledge, and holders with coupled fields besides heating. Moreover, recent studies using in-situ heating TEM are presented in separate categories: materials growth, sublimation, failure analysis, annealing, phase transformation, catalysis, batteries, etc. Finally, we provide perspectives for its future development regarding fast recording, data processing/computing capabilities, coupled external stimuli, and broad materials systems.
