Purpose

The FTIR Analyzer skill provides molecular characterization of nanomaterials through infrared spectroscopy, enabling identification of functional groups, surface modifications, and chemical bonding.

Capabilities

  • ATR-FTIR for nanoparticle surfaces
  • Functional group identification
  • Surface modification verification
  • Gas-phase FTIR for reactions
  • Diffuse reflectance (DRIFTS)
  • Spectral library searching

Usage Guidelines

FTIR Analysis

  1. Sample Preparation

    • Use ATR for nanoparticles
    • Ensure good contact for ATR
    • Consider KBr pellet for transmission
  2. Spectrum Analysis

    • Identify characteristic bands
    • Compare to reference spectra
    • Quantify using Beer-Lambert
  3. Surface Chemistry

    • Monitor ligand exchange
    • Verify functionalization
    • Detect degradation products

Process Integration

  • Multi-Modal Nanomaterial Characterization Pipeline
  • Nanomaterial Surface Functionalization Pipeline
