How Does FTIR Compare to Other Characterization Techniques?
FTIR is often compared to other characterization techniques such as Raman Spectroscopy and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Each technique has its strengths and weaknesses. For instance, while Raman Spectroscopy is also used for molecular characterization, it is more sensitive to different types of molecular vibrations than FTIR. On the other hand, XRD is better suited for determining the crystalline structure of nanomaterials but does not provide information on molecular vibrations.
