Abstract

The invention discloses an electron energy loss spectroscopy analysis method for transition metal oxide microstructure characterization, and belongs to the technical field of electron microscopic analysis. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, acquiring an electron energy loss spectrum of oxygen in a transition metal oxide by using a transmission electron microscope, and then carrying out Gaussian function fitting on a near-edge fine structure of the electron energy loss spectrum of oxygen to obtain valence information of metal elements in the material; then, by means of quintic spline function fitting, extracting an oscillation signal in the oxygen electron energy loss spectrum extension fine structure, and carrying out coordinate transformation, denoising and amplitude modulation processing on the oscillation signal; and then carrying out Fourier transform on the processed oscillation signal to obtain oxygen atom coordination structure information. combining metal element valence state information and oxygen atom coordination structure information to finally obtain complete quantitative information about the transition metal oxide microstructure. The analysis method is helpful for research of transition metal oxide materials in the fields of catalysis and energy storage.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electron microscopy analysis, in particular to an electron energy loss spectroscopy analysis method for characterization of the fine structure of transition metal oxides. Background technique [0002] Transition metal oxides have attracted extensive attention as catalysts or electrode materials due to their advantages of multiple valence states and multiphase transitions. In order to explore the reaction kinetics of such materials in catalytic and electrode processes, it is necessary to analyze the changes in the microstructure of transition metal oxides. In general, XRD and in-situ XRD are used to obtain crystal phase transition information of materials. Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), the valence state evolution and coordination environment of the characteristic elements of transition metal oxides can be obtained. However, none of these methods ...
