Abstract The discovery of nickelate superconductors, including doped infinite-layer (IL) nickelates $R$NiO$_{2}$ ($R= {\rm La}$, Pr, Nd), layered square-planar nickelate Nd$_{6}$Ni$_{5}$O$_{12}$, and the Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) phase La$_{3}$Ni$_{2}$O$_{7}$, has spurred immense interest in fundamental research and potential applications. Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) has proven crucial for understanding structure-property correlations in these diverse nickelate superconducting systems. In this review, we summarize the key findings from various modes of STEM, elucidating the mechanism of different nickelate superconductors. We also discuss future perspectives on emerging STEM techniques for unraveling the pairing mechanism in the “nickel age” of superconductivity.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
