formula of which is Ag 0.907 V 1.016 O 3 . Electron tomography analysis was conducted
to study the 3D reconstruction of a single nanoribbon structure. As shown in
Fig. 6.15a, the thickness of the nanoribbon and the location of Ag nanoparticles can
be identified from the image. Under the illumination of an electron beam, a number
of Ag nanoparticles are produced on the surface of the nanoribbon. The diameters
