Review on Spectroscopy Methods for Studying Viral Nanomaterials

Article Preview

Abstract:

Studying the spectroscopic properties of nanomaterials and nanoparticles is essential for developing nanomaterial science and nanotechnology. Spectroscopic properties of nanoparticles of biological origin, especially pathogenic nanoparticles such as viruses, became actual after the Covid-19 pandemic, causing economic, human and social harm. Known spectra of the utmost atoms, molecules, and compositions are well used for identification. In this paper, we provide a concise review of the experimental results obtained from advanced spectroscopy techniques by various scientific groups and demonstrate the possibility of using spectra of viruses to detect and identify diseases caused by pathogens. Raman, ultraviolet (UV), and infrared (IR) spectroscopy methods for experimental study of viral materials are considered.
