Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted a large amount of attention in both basic and applied fields, and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) is often uniquely well-suited for characterizing the atomic-scale structure of these materials [1-4]. As a result, STEM is poised to significantly impact progress on platinum group metal (PGM)-free catalysts, which are currently under intense development to enable low-cost, commercially viable hydrogen fuel cells [5]. While recent advancements have resulted in fuel cell performance comparable to Pt catalysts by some measures [6], cell durability remains a significant challenge, limiting practical applications [7].
