Multi-Technique Approach for Nanoparticles Characterization on a Laboratory X-Ray Diffractometer

Article Preview

Abstract:

There is an ongoing interest in nanoparticles for the unique properties that have applications in a range of fields including catalysis, semi-conductors, gas storage amongst many others. In this study a variety of distinct techniques were applied on the same in-house X-Ray diffractometer. In particular, SAXS, conventional XRD and Total Scattering of nano-sized TiO2 powders were performed, together with in-situ heating experiments. The combination of the results from each technique proves to be a powerful tool for a more complete description of the material.
