What Techniques Do Chemists Use for Characterizing Nanomaterials?
Characterization of nanomaterials is critical to understanding their properties and potential applications. Chemists use a range of techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). These techniques provide detailed information about the size, shape, surface morphology, and crystalline structure of nanomaterials.
