How to Choose the Right Characterization Technique?
The choice of characterization technique depends on the specific requirements of the study and the properties of the nanoparticles:
For size and size distribution, DLS, TEM, and SEM are commonly used. For shape and morphology, TEM and SEM are preferred. For surface charge, zeta potential analysis is employed. For chemical composition, FTIR and XPS are beneficial. For crystallinity and phase, XRD is essential. For surface area and porosity, BET analysis is used.
