What Are the Advantages and Limitations of UV-Vis Spectroscopy in Nanotechnology?
UV-Vis spectroscopy offers several advantages in the study of nanomaterials, such as being a non-destructive, rapid, and relatively simple technique. It also requires minimal sample preparation and can be applied to a wide range of materials. However, there are some limitations, including the potential for interference from other absorbing species, the need for well-dispersed samples to avoid scattering effects, and the limitation to materials that absorb in the UV-Vis range.
