Résumé : A field ion/emission microscope was used as a chemical nanoreactor. The catalytic reduction of NO2 on a single platinum catalyst grain is investigated and morphological changes of the catalyst are monitored during reaction (FEM mode) and after reaction (FIM mode) with nanoscale resolution. A drastic change from hemispherical shape towards nearly pyramidal shape occurs. It has been showed that the morphology influences the local catalytic activity in such a way that morphological changes are a prerequisite for the surface reaction to occur.
