SAXS can provide a wealth of information about nanomaterials, including:
1. Size and Shape: SAXS can determine the size distribution and shape of nanoparticles and other nanostructures. 2. Surface Area and Porosity: It can be used to measure the specific surface area and porosity of nanoporous materials. 3. Aggregation and Dispersion: SAXS can reveal whether nanoparticles are dispersed or aggregated within a medium. 4. Structural Changes: It can monitor changes in the structure of nanomaterials under different conditions, such as temperature, pressure, or chemical environment.
