The morphology, crystallization and elemental composition of cement hydration products in early age including Ca(OH)(2), CSH gel, AFt and AFm were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Compared with the results from SEM and XRD, the TEM method and its advantage in the investigation of early hydration products were discussed. The results showed that TEM method is more accurate and reliable than SEM in the investigation of early hydration products. The CSH gel was confirmed to be amorphous foil-like shape product with a lot of crumples in early hydration age. Its Ca/Si ratio is 1.3 +/- 0.2. The morphology difference of AFt and AFm was clarified. AFt and AFm are both poly-crystal with layered structure, composed of disordered nano crystal. The size of nano crystal is less than 20 nm. The difference of Ca/Si ratio results between SEM and TEM was investigated, and its reason was explained.
