I need to determine (quantitative) TiNi nanoparticles. They are in aqueous solution, but the problem with the synthesis is that (probably) there are TiO2 or Ti and Ni metals in the solution.
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) may be your answer, as you can probably see all the states that the titanium and nikelium are in your system, but you need to work with powder and not with liquid samples. Are you able to remove the solvent, or you want to measure in situ? However, I'm not an expert in XPS, so take also a second opinion.
hey, would like to say first you should convert it powder or solid form or u can pour on the glass surface and do its charactriztion by using EDS or XRD ... this is my opinon you can take other expert advise ...when you got good answer please tell me
Thanks you all, Ioannis and Unmesh, I'll do experiments to isolate the nanoparticles of the solution by different ways, if I warm to evaporate the water, probably the heat make the union between Ti and Ni metals, Unmesh if I find the way of analyze this I'll tell you, I'll find more information 'bout XPS.
You could remove the water with Speed Vac, without increasing the temperature.
