Understanding the nucleation and growth mechanisms involved in the synthesis of nanomaterials is a key factor in determining their performance and functionality. In many cases, these processes are still not well understood in particular, due to the difficulty of observing them in situ or operando. Scanning hard X-ray microscopy offers the potential for in situ nanoimaging of complex chemical systems under relevant environmental conditions. However, standard X-ray tomography relies on the rotation of the sample with respect to the X-ray beam. This is typically not possible for the synthesis of nanoparticles in solution, which requires an extended reaction cell.
We have developed a new stereoscopic X-ray imaging technique with improved depth resolution to overcome these challenges. By simultaneously illuminating the sample with two nanofocused X-rays at different angles, we increased the effective numerical aperture and improved the spatial resolution along the X-ray beam path. This provides a significant gain in depth-sensitivity in ptychography with multi-slicing and allows us to obtain 3D structural information from 2D scans.
