Abstract

A combination of orthogonal measurement techniques is utilized in this study to predict the average lengths and diameters of colloidal nanorods. Sedimentation coefficient distributions and electrical mobility distributions obtained from analytical ultracentrifugation and a scanning mobility particle sizer, respectively, are used for the hydrodynamic correlation. The method is validated theoretically and application to Au and ZnO nanorod samples is shown. The results demonstrate that the combination of both measurement techniques is an excellent method for the two-dimensional characterization of nanorods.
