The microscopic understanding of materials relies on the development of microscopy. Historically, the technological evolution from optical microscopes to electron microscopes has directly stimulated many discoveries of new physical and chemical fundamentals as well as advanced materials. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is, undoubtedly, the most widely used tool for microscopic characterization in modern materials science. Especially, the incorporation of a gas pressure around the sample area of conventional SEM, i.e., the environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM), has opened new possibilities in observing samples in their natural states, leading to unprecedented chances for studying the details of biological, organic, and hydrated samples. What is more, in recent years, in situ ESEM studies concerning materials change and chemical reactions have played a more important role in the field of materials science. Herein, the recent applications of ESEM in materials science are comprehensively reviewed, in terms of common static observations for various materials and in situ investigations of dynamic processes in controlled experimental environments. Moreover, the problems concerning state‐of‐the‐art ESEM experiments are discussed, as well as possible solutions. Looking forward, the rapid developments on instrumentation and fundamental science of ESEM can bring a clear vision of materials in the near future.

ESEM在材料科学中的应用：最新更新和展望

对材料的微观理解依赖于显微镜的发展。从历史上看，从光学显微镜到电子显微镜的技术发展直接刺激了许多新的物理和化学基础知识以及先进材料的发现。毫无疑问，扫描电子显微镜（SEM）是现代材料科学中用于显微镜表征的最广泛使用的工具。特别是，在常规SEM（即环境扫描电子显微镜（ESEM））的样品区域周围引入气压，为观察处于自然状态的样品提供了新的可能性，从而为研究生物学，有机和水合样品。而且，近年来，关于材料变化和化学反应的原位ESEM研究在材料科学领域中发挥了更重要的作用。在此，从对各种材料的常规静态观测以及在受控实验环境中对动态过程进行的原位研究的角度，全面回顾了ESEM在材料科学中的最新应用。此外，还讨论了有关最新ESEM实验的问题以及可能的解决方案。展望未来，ESEM仪器和基础科学的飞速发展可以在不久的将来为材料带来清晰的视野。包括对各种材料的常见静态观测以及在受控实验环境中对动态过程的原位研究。此外，还讨论了有关最新ESEM实验的问题以及可能的解决方案。展望未来，ESEM仪器和基础科学的飞速发展可以在不久的将来为材料带来清晰的视野。包括对各种材料的常见静态观测以及在受控实验环境中对动态过程的原位研究。此外，还讨论了有关最新ESEM实验的问题以及可能的解决方案。展望未来，ESEM仪器和基础科学的飞速发展可以在不久的将来为材料带来清晰的视野。
