Abstract

In situ Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM) with humidity control at the 10ID-1 spectromicroscopy beamline at the Canadian Light Source was used to study the effect of humidity on individual SnO₂ coated carbon nanotubes (SnO₂/CNT). O 1s STXM image stacks of individual SnO ₂ coated CNT were measured at controlled relative humidity (RH). At high RH = 0.78, 10-50 nm of condensed water was found adsorbed on individual SnO₂/CNT as determined by spectral curve fitting to O 1s image sequences. Coating variations among individual SnO₂/CNT were found. This is consistent with O 1s NEXAFS spectra extracted from the same individual SnO₂/CNT. For some entangled SnO₂/CNT regions, as much as 200 nm condensed liquid water was detected, indicating strong interaction between SnO₂ and water.
