Abstract

Environmental-cell dynamic high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (DHRTEM) has been used to provide atomic-level insight into lamellar reaction processes for the model weak- charge-transfer intercalation reaction of NH3 with 2H-TaS2. In situ intercalation was induced by exposing 2H-TaS2 crystallites to controlled pressures of NH3(g) and recorded on videotape with 0.03 second time resolution. The intercalation processes observed possess a strong similarity to nucleation and growth processes. Onset occurs in either outermost or internal guest galleries, with further intercalation of the galleries progressing away from the onset layers. Randomly staged regions, containing occasional packages of short-range order, were observed to form during the growth process.
