Abstract

The real-time observation of structural evolution of materials can provide critical information for understanding their reduction mechanisms under different environments. Herein, we report the atomic-scale observation of the reduction dynamics of W18O49 nanowires (NWs) using environmental transmission electron microscopy. Intriguingly, the reduction pathway is found to be affected by oxygen pressure. Under high oxygen pressure (∼0.095 Pa), a W18O49 NW epitaxially transforms into a WO2 NW via mass transport across the interface between (010)W18O49 and (101)WO2. While under low oxygen pressure (∼0.0004 Pa), the transformation follows the sequence of W18O49(NW) → WO2(NW) → β-W(nanoparticles), which is identified as a new reduction pathway. These findings reveal the pressure-dependent reduction and a new transformation pathway, and extend our current understanding of the reduction dynamics of metal oxides.

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.
