EDX energy dispersive X-ray

Within this technique, we include EDX (energy dispersive x-ray analysis), WDX (wavelength dispersive x-ray analysis), and XRF (x-ray fluorescence analysis). In all of these, x-rays emitted from a sample are analyzed. In one case, they are created by bombarding the sample with x-rays (XRF), and in the others, they are created by high energy electron beam as in an SEM (EDX, WDX).

Using a complementary technique, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), the particle sizes were measured in order to choose the best model(s). In this way, the lateral resolution of one technique (TEM) is combined with the surface sensitivity of the other (XPS) to yield some parameters. In this case, however, the results appeared contradictory. Measuring with a resolution of 1 nm, TEM could not find titania or vanadia particles and with EDX (Energy Dispersive X—ray analysis) it was corroborated that, even on a smaller scale, the metals were evenly spread through the catalyst. 

EDX = energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, a) According to Yang et al (1995a).
