AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Microscopic imaging can obtain rich geometric information of a single nanoparticle, but cannot obtain the overall information of many particles (such as geometric scale distribution, etc.), and the measurement speed is slow, the efficiency is low, the cost is high, the equipment investment is large, and professional operation is required etc. It is not convenient for measurement outside the laboratory and real-time measurement

Dynamic light scattering method and small-angle X-ray scattering method have fast measurement speed, high efficiency, low cost, simple operation, convenient operation outside the laboratory and real-time measurement, and can obtain a large amount of statistical measurement data, but the disadvantage is that they can only measure many nanoparticles The average information of individual particles cannot detect the size and shape information of individual particles, and the reconstruction of particle morphology requires high requirements for the corresponding theoretical model and numerical algorithm of the inverse problem.
