Nanoparticles in analytical laser and plasma spectroscopy – a review of recent developments in methodology and applications

Abstract

The present review attempts to comprehensively overview the progress in the field of nanoparticle-related analytical laser and plasma spectroscopy research, focusing on the results of the past decade. The discussion...

Atomic spectrometry update – a review of advances in environmental analysis

“…Nanoparticles were the topic of a comprehensive review (290 references) that covered 57 advances in methods for determination of their abundance, morphology, composition and structure in water, soil, sediment and biological samples. Laser- and plasma-based approaches for NP characterisation were included 117 in a broader review (596 references) that also covered monitoring of NP synthesis and the use of NPs for signal enhancement.…”

Atomic spectrometry update: review of advances in atomic spectrometry and related techniques

“…Galbács et al 120 reviewed recent developments in methods and applications utilising NPs. Connections between nanoparticles and laser and plasma spectroscopy were discussed in three major areas, including the monitoring of NP synthesis, characterisation and plasmonic signal enhancement.…”

Multifunctional microfluidic chips for the single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analysis of inorganic nanoparticles

“…24 In 2019, this group, one of the most proliferic groups in the field, also wrote a review on microfluidic chip-ICP-MS for trace element and their species analysis in cells. 8 [26][27][28] In our previous studies, we demonstrated that not only single-component 4 or homogenous (random) alloy spherical NPs can be analyzed, and additional information, such as the structure and aspect ratio, as well as the porosity can also be obtained by the spICP-MS method. [29][30][31] spICP-MS analysis takes only a couple of minutes, and the required particle concentration is small (ca.…”

“…As it was shown in recent years in the literature, through the evaluation of the signal histograms, the technique can provide information about the presence, size distribution, number concentration, elemental or isotopic composition of nanoparticles. [26][27][28] In our previous studies, we demonstrated that not only single-component or homogenous (random) alloy spherical NPs can be analyzed, and additional information, such as the structure and aspect ratio, as well as the porosity can also be obtained by the spICP-MS method.
