Abstract
En 中文
Surface charges play a fundamental role in physics and chemistry, in particular in shaping the catalytic properties of nanomaterials. However, tracking nanoscale surface charge dynamics remains challenging due to the involved length and time scales. Here, we demonstrate time-resolved access to the nanoscale charge dynamics on dielectric nanoparticles using reaction nanoscopy. We present a four-dimensional visualization of the spatiotemporal evolution of the charge density on individual SiO2 nanoparticles under strong-field irradiation with femtosecond-nanometer resolution. The initially localized surface charges exhibit a biexponential redistribution over time. Our findings reveal the influence of surface charges on surface molecular bonding through quantum dynamical simulations. We performed semi-classical simulations to uncover the roles of diffusion and charge loss in the surface charge redistribution process. Understanding nanoscale surface charge dynamics and its influence on chemical bonding on a single-nanoparticle level unlocks an increased ability to address global needs in renewable energy and advanced health care.
