Abstract: Transmission electron microcopy (TEM) analysis of liquid metals, especially mercury (Hg), is difficult to carry out because their specimen preparation poses a daunting task due to the unique surface properties of these metals. This paper reports a cryoTEM study on Hg using a novel specimen preparation technique. Hg metal is mixed with water using sonication and quenched in liquid ethane cryogen. This technique permits research into the morphological, phase and structural properties of Hg at nanoscale dimensions.

Unusual Reactivity of Graphene Quantum Dot-Wrapped Silver Nanoparticles with Hg(II): Spontaneous Growth of Hg Flowers and Their Electrocatalytic Activity.
TL;DR: In this article, the galvanic reaction between a graphene quantum dot (GQD)-stabilized AgNP-modified glassy carbon (GC) surface and Hg(II) leads to complete dissolution of AgNPs within 15 min and subsequent growth of a "flower" on the GQD surface.

Review on thermal energy storage with phase change materials and applications
TL;DR: The use of a latent heat storage system using phase change materials (PCMs) is an effective way of storing thermal energy and has the advantages of high energy storage density and the isothermal nature of the storage process.

Radiation damage in the TEM and SEM.
Ray F. Egerton,P Li,Marek Malac +2 more
TL;DR: In the light of recent experimental evidence, two common assumptions are re-examine: that the amount of radiation damage is proportional to the electron dose and is independent of beam diameter; and that the extent of the damage is proportionate to theamount of energy deposited in the specimen.
