In-situ microscopy in corrosive environment
Nedvěd, Matěj ; Velický, Matěj (referee) ; Kolíbal, Miroslav (advisor)
This diploma thesis focuses on in-situ electron microscopy and its application to monitoring the chemical reactions on the surfaces of nanomaterials. The possibilities offered by this technique are presented, and the existing solution of an in-situ scanning electron microscope used for experiments is described. The thesis introduces Janus two-dimensional materials based on transition metal dichalcogenides with a focus on their preparation. A detailed description follows regarding the preparation of thin layers of WSe2 material using mechanical exfoliation and experiments conducted using an in-situ microscope. These experiments involved annealing of WSe2 material in the presence of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) while simultaneously observing it with an electron microscope, aimed to facilitate the chalcogenide exchange in this material. The morphology, composition, and optical properties of the material were subsequently analyzed using Raman spectroscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy. Finally, an experiment resulting in the successful exchange of selenium in WSe2 for sulphur is presented.
