Characterization of gold nanoparticles is crucial for understanding their properties and behavior. Common techniques include:
1. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM): Provides detailed images of the nanoparticle's size and shape. 2. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS): Measures the size distribution of nanoparticles in suspension. 3. UV-Vis Spectroscopy: Analyzes the optical properties and helps in determining the concentration and size of nanoparticles. 4. X-ray Diffraction (XRD): Provides information about the crystal structure of the nanoparticles.
