Article Abstract
Under electron bombardment, electrically insulating samples accumulate a net charge which can adversely affect measurements in electron microscopy. Here, we present a preliminary study on gas-based charge compensation in TEM quantified through off-axis electron holography. Based on the present data, it appears that the introduction of a gas flow reversibly reduces the degree of charge buildup and fluctuations on a dielectric sample. The use of gas may thus allow for the study of samples which would normally be strongly distorted, unstable, or damaged by the charging process; as well as further studies of the charging process itself. However, as the present results were obtained with low spatial resolution Lorentz optics and second-scale time resolutions, we caution that the effectiveness of gas-based charge compensation for high spatial and temporal resolutions is not yet demonstrated.

Highly sensitive and reusable sensors for detecting harmful gas molecules are particularly important to reduce their harmful impacts on human health and the natural environment. Based on the density functional theory calculations, the adsorption properties and sensing performances of the monolayer penta-HgO material for nitrogen-containing toxic gas molecules (NO, NH, NO, and NO) were thoroughly explored. The adsorptions of NH, NO, and NO (NO) on the monolayer penta-HgO substrate are characterized by high (low) adsorption energy, significant (little) charge transfer, and short (long) adsorption distance, showing chemisorption (physisorption) properties.

To progress the clean hydrogen-gas-based energy economy, there is a demand for cost-effective, highly efficient catalysts to facilitate the hydrogen evolution reaction process (HER). Due to the amazing catalytic capabilities of two-dimensional materials, extensive research has been done on these structures. However, most of the described syntheses take a lot of time, are challenging, and are ineffective.
