Although spherical silicon micro powder is spherical and has good fluidity, there are still problems of poor compatibility and difficult dispersion when used as an inorganic filler mixed with organic matrix materials. Therefore, surface modification is necessary to solve these problems. Surface modification of spherical silicon micro powder involves introducing specific functional groups or coatin...

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...

1.Characterization of particle size and distribution Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS): DLS is one of the most commonly used techniques for measuring the particle size and distribution of nanoparticles in suspensions. It calculates the hydrodynamic diameter of particles by measuring the time-dependent light scattering intensity fluctuations caused by Brownian motion of particles. DLS can also provide...

XRD is an important means of characterizing phases. Strictly speaking, it can determine the existence of a certain phase, but cannot determine the absence of a certain phase, making it easier to distinguish between truth and falsehood. So, what is its detection limit? Firstly, we must emphasize that XRD analysis of elemental content is very inaccurate. If we have to say what the detection limit is...
