The phase evolution dynamics in binary nanoparticles have been investigated using e-beam assisted ultrafast local heating and cooling. The PbBi alloy nanoparticles transform into heterostructures under e-beam stimulated structural relaxation, forming Janus configurations consisting of Bi polyhedron parts and intermetallic hemisphere parts. Through capturing and identifying the different phases during phase segregation, a model of phase and shape evolution of PbBi nanoalloys is developed and compared with that of the bulk counterparts.
Gas-phase synthesized binary nanoparticles (NPs) possess ultraclean surfaces, which benefit versatile uses in sensors and catalysts. However, precise control of their configuration and properties is still a big challenge because the growth mechanism and phase evolution dynamics in these NPs are very hard to unveil. Here, we report a strategy to investigate the phase evolution dynamics in binary NPs by using e-beam assisted ultrafast local heating and cooling inside a transmission electron microscope. With this strategy, the phase segregation and corresponding shape evolution of PbBi NPs are in situ revealed. It is found that the as-prepared PbBi alloy NPs will transform into heterostructures under e-beam stimulated structural relaxation, leading to the formation of featured Janus configurations with faceted Bi polyhedron parts and intermetallic hemisphere parts. During phase segregation, Pb1Bi1 and Pb7Bi3 phases are captured and identified, and a model of phase and shape evolution of PbBi nanoalloys is developed and contrasted with that of their bulk counterparts. These findings benefit the understanding of the phase dynamics of binary NPs and can provide in-depth information for engineering their structures for practical applications.
