For studying the catalytic reaction by physical science techniques, a kind of transmission electron microscope technique is presented and applied to the study of photocatalysis on TiO2 films by UV light. Using the technique, we visualized in situ the decomposition process of hydrocarbons deposited on the TiO2 films in atomic level and elucidated a mechanism of the decomposition process.Read More
