Analysis and Characterisation of Metal-Based Nanomaterials

Analytical methodologies for detecting, characterizing, and quantifying metal-based nanomaterials in complex environmental, biological, and food samples, as well as consumer products, are introduced. Single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry is highlighted as a powerful tool for number-based concentration and size distribution. Imaging of metal-based nanoparticles by hyphenated inductively coupled plasma-based techniques is also discussed. Liquid chromatography and field flow fractionation separation techniques hyphenated to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry are emphasized for complex matrices and small particles sizes. The occurrence, behavior, and fate of inorganic nanoparticles in the environment are overviewed, and the need for quality control standards and reference nano-materials is emphasized.

The Comprehensive Analytical Chemistry series, Volume 93, titled "Analysis and Characterisation of Metal-Based Nanomaterials," delves into the latest advancements in analytical methodologies for the detection, characterization, and quantification of metal-based nanomaterials. This volume explores their applications in diverse environmental, biological, food, and consumer products. Single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry emerges as a powerful analytical tool for quantifying metal-based nanoparticles based on their number and size distribution, offering insights from both metrological and analytical perspectives. Additionally, the chapter discusses an emerging approach for measuring multi-metal nanoparticles using single-particle inductively coupled plasma time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Hyphenated inductively coupled plasma-based techniques are introduced for imaging metal-based nanoparticles, providing valuable insights into their morphology and composition. The potential of liquid chromatography and field flow fractionation separation techniques coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry is emphasized, particularly for complex matrices and small particle sizes. The characterization of metal-based nanoparticles using various microscopic techniques is discussed, including transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, the occurrence, behavior, and fate of inorganic nanoparticles in the environment are overviewed, shedding light on their environmental impact and potential risks. The importance of quality control standards and reference nano-materials is emphasized throughout the volume, ensuring the reliability and accuracy of analytical results.
