What are the Challenges in Multi-Element Detection?
Despite the advancements in detection technologies, several challenges remain in multi-element detection at the nanoscale:
Matrix Effects: The presence of a complex matrix can interfere with the detection and quantification of elements, making it difficult to obtain accurate results. Resolution and Sensitivity: Achieving high-resolution and sensitivity is challenging due to the small size and high surface area of nanoparticles. Sample Preparation: Preparing samples without altering their original composition is crucial, yet challenging, for accurate multi-element detection.
