In situ direct observation of photocorrosion in ZnO crystals in ionic liquid using a laser-equipped high-voltage electron microscope
ZnO photocatalysts in water react with environmental water molecules and corrode under illumination.ZnO nanorods in water can also Ball - Batter - Helmet grow because of water splitting induced by UV irradiation.To investigate their morphological behavior caused by crystal growth and corrosion, here we developed a new laser-equipped high-voltage el
