By utilizing a nanostructured platform and conventional wet impregnation techniques, powder-type materials with atomically thin surface layers have been successfully prepared under mild conditions. A combination of STEM-EDX ET and deep learning denoising techniques allows for the 3D compositional characterization of these unique nanosystems. The study focuses on LaOx-coated CeO2 nanocubes and reveals uneven distribution of a 2-4 atom-thick layer on the nanocube surface.
Using a nanostructured platform (a controlled-shape nano-oxide) and conventional wet impregnation techniques, powder-type materials have been prepared in which atomically thin surface layers are deposited under very mild conditions. More importantly, an advanced methodology, combining energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy-scanning transmission electron tomography (STEM-EDX ET) and deep learning denoising techniques, has been developed for the 3D compositional characterization of these unique nanosystems. The complex case of LaOx-coated CeO2 nanocubes is illustrated. For these, aberration corrected 2D STEM-EDX evidence that ceria nanocubes become covered with a 2-4 atom-thick layer of a La, Ce-mixed oxide with spatially varying composition. However, STEM-EDX ET reveals that this layer distributes unevenly, patching most of the available nanocube surface. The large flexibility and spread availability of the involved synthetic techniques enables, using the tools here developed, a wide exploration of the wealth of questions and applications of these intriguing, atomically thin, surface oxide phases.
