ad Quasi in situ high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) images showing the evolution course from isolated Ba single atoms (BaSAs) to subnanometric (BaONCs) at the irradiation time of 5 min (a), 10 min (b), 60 min (c) and 120 min (d) respectively. The related size distribution is labeled as insets (c, d), in which the range of both x (0.4–1.0) and y (0–7) axes are set consistently. e, HAADF-STEM image (left) and respective elemental mapping images (right) verifying the component of Ba elements on the BaONCs-TNS surface. f Variation of Ba2+ concentration during the operando construction of BaONCs detected by ion chromatography.
