Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is an indispensable tool for characterization of such catalytic nanoparticles with atomic scale. However, general observation environments are vacuum and differ from those in actual uses. In this research, we developed a gas environmental heating TEM specimen holder system for in-situ observation of catalytic materials, because an atmospheric gas (kind and pressure) and temperature are the major factors for catalytic performance. Here, I will introduce the specimen holder system and its applications to catalytic materials.
