Measurement of inorganic particle size using dynamic light scattering method.
Determine particle size and particle size distribution! Example of measuring the particle size of silica and alumina particles in an aqueous medium.
Dynamic light scattering allows for the measurement of particle size and size distribution of nanoparticles dispersed in a liquid without separating the particles. Here, we present an example of measuring the particle size of silica and alumina particles in an aqueous medium. Particles in a solution exhibit Brownian motion that depends on their size, and the fluctuations in the scattered light produced when the particles are illuminated depend on their size as well. By observing and analyzing these fluctuations, we can determine the particle size and size distribution. [Alumina Measurement Results and Discussion] - As alumina approaches neutrality from strong alkaline conditions, it nears its isoelectric point. - The surface charge of the particles decreases. - The repulsion between particles diminishes. - It can be inferred that particle aggregation is occurring. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Evaluation of particle size of positive electrode active material
We would like to introduce a case of particle size measurement of positive electrode active materials using laser diffraction conducted by our company. In air or liquid, laser light is irradiated onto the particles, and the angular dependence of the intensity of the light scattered by the particles is measured. By measuring the angular dependence of the scattered light intensity, the particle size distribution (particle size distribution) is calculated from the data. Using commercially available reagents as samples, measurements were conducted in a dry state without dispersing in a solvent. The particle size measurement results for NMC oxide showed a monodisperse state with particle sizes below several tens of micrometers, and the median diameter was calculated to be 12 micrometers.
