Transmission electron microscopy finds plenty of room on the surface
Literature Information
Wei Zhang, Wei Tao Zheng
The atomic features of materials' surfaces have fundamental importance for applications in numerous fields, such as heterogeneous catalysis, energy conversion and thin-film growth. Now transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and affiliated techniques have thoroughly revolutionized many disciplines of natural sciences, and are becoming some of the best solutions for surface exploration. In this Perspective, we try to summarise the important progress in surface elucidation by applying the state-of-the-art TEM, which covers (1) from the essential features of oxides to their dynamic behaviors, and the interactions between surfaces and gases; (2) the visualization of emerging materials from zero-dimensional single atoms to two-dimensional materials, and the development towards an ultimate integration of three-dimensional surfaces. Plenty of room has been made for TEM exploration of a material's surface, and the surface-integral frontiers are being pushed further.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
