To date it remains challenging to clarify the corrosion mechanism of coaxial nanocables in an oxidative moisture environment, which sets immediate bottleneck for their engineering application. Herein, we report a series situ structure evolutions Ag and Ag@C liquid environmental transmission electron microscope, followed with mechanistic unraveling corrosion. The bubbles generated by nanocable oxidation inversely triggered rapid dissolution radiolytic water. For complicated nanocables, species interact carbon defects thicken shell; as consequence holes drilling-on exposure water, inner were its dissolution. derived provides us new insight into accurately controlling antioxidative chemistry.
