Abstract Creating materials with dimensions of less than 100 nm has been an area of a breakthrough area for researchers and industrialists. As their dimensions are reduced to nanoscale, nanoparticles tend to exhibit unique properties that are different from those of their bulk counterparts making them uniquely suited to electronic, chemical, and optical applications. These features make nanoparticles more attractive for various applications but simultaneously complicate their characterization processes. Hence, the challenge lies in finding the right characterization techniques with optimum capacity for studying the nanoparticle's characteristics. As a result, along with the synthesis and fabrication processes, there is a need to characterize nanoparticles to assess their properties. A large number of techniques can be employed for nanoparticle/nanomaterial characterization. This chapter will comprehensively discuss some of the most common characterization techniques in nanotechnology, namely atomic force microscopy, dynamic light scattering, electron microscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, UV–visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
