After purchasing our company's nano iron oxide powder, the customer found that the particle size was larger during testing. Why is that? Because the particle size of nano powder is very fine, it is easy to agglomerate, so the large particle size tested is the particle size after agglomeration. So how can we effectively disperse nano iron oxide powder? Next, we will introduce how to use ultrasonic ...

Scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a key tool for modern scientific exploration of the microscopic world. It plays an irreplaceable role in scientific research and industrial applications by enabling us to gain insights into the microscopic structure of matter through high-resolution electronic imaging technology. SEM scans the surface of the sample with a high-energy electron beam to collect s...

The major limitations on TEM performance are spherical aberration (also known as aberration), chromatic aberration, and astigmatism. The spherical aberration and chromatic aberration limit the resolution of traditional TEM. Both of these defects are inevitable when using static rotational symmetric electromagnetic fields. Ball aberration is the most important factor determining the performance of ...

Titanium dioxide has the characteristics of high chemical stability, non toxicity, and good photoelectric performance, especially rutile titanium dioxide has high surface activity, which is very suitable for battery material modification. Like polyethylene glycol, the introduction of titanium dioxide is also to compensate for the insufficient energy density and rate performance of lithium iron pho...

In transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, the primary and crucial step in obtaining a high-quality image that can be interpreted reasonably is sample preparation. Inappropriate sample thickness, poor conductivity, or damage introduced during sample preparation can directly lead to abnormal electron beam penetration, image distortion, and even sample scrapping. TEM sample requirements ① T...

What are nanoparticles? Nanoparticles (NPs) are typically defined as granular materials with at least one dimension at the nanoscale (1-100 nm) in three-dimensional space. From the dimensions of structure and morphology, nanoparticles can be classified into zero dimensional nanomaterials (0D nanomaterials), corresponding to one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials. 0D nanopartic...

Why do nanoparticles aggregate? 1.Surface free energy driven mechanism Nanoparticles have a larger specific surface area and unsaturated surface atoms, leading to an increase in surface free energy. Multi particle contact can reduce the total surface area, release interfacial energy, and thus lower the system's free energy. This trend of energy minimization is the intrinsic thermodynamic driving f...
