This Pre-Meeting Congress will focus on the latest advances in operando and in situ electron microscopy for resolving dynamic interfacial phenomena in liquid and gas environments. Interfaces play a pivotal role in a wide range of critical material systems and processes, including catalysis, separations, energy conversion and storage, corrosion, phase transformations, and quantum effects. Understanding interfacial dynamics in working environments is essential for linking material structure to functional performance.
The PMC will explore emerging approaches and challenges in:
- Integrating environmental stimuli (e.g., temperature, electric bias, illumination, mechanical force) into real-time electron microscopy experiments.
- Applying multimodal characterization strategies, either simultaneous or sequential, to probe structural, chemical, and functional evolution within the same material system.
- Managing and analyzing large, hyperspectral, and time-resolved datasets generated during operando and in situ measurements.
- Leveraging machine learning and advanced image and signal processing to extract quantitative, statistically robust insights.
By showcasing state-of-the-art imaging and spectroscopic techniques in liquids and gases, this congress aims to reveal the dynamic mechanisms governing interfacial reactions, phase transitions, and charge transport in realistic environments. Such insights provide a critical foundation for advancing diverse material systems, where interfaces dictate performance and emergent properties.
