We present the development of in situ wet environmental transmission electron microscopy (Wet-ETEM) for direct probing controlled liquid–catalyst reactions at operating temperatures on nanoscale. The first nanoscale imaging and diffraction dynamic liquid hydrogenation polymerization manufacture polyamides reported here opens up new opportunities high resolution studies a wide range solution–solid solution–gas–solid chemical biological sciences.
