    On July 21, 2021, Environmental Science & Technology published an online paper entitled " Using Micro-Raman Spectroscopy to Investigate Chemical Composition, Mixing States, and Heterogeneous Reactions of Individual Atmospheric Particles " by Professor Zhu Tong’s research group , reporting the successful use of Micro-Raman spectroscopy studies the chemical composition, mixed state and heterogeneous chemical reaction results of actual atmospheric single particles
    .

    Measuring the chemical composition of single particles in the atmosphere can provide direct evidence for studying the mixing state and heterogeneous reaction of particles in the atmosphere
    .


    In the past, electron microscope-energy spectroscopy (TEM/SEM-EDX) and single particle aerosol mass spectrometry (SPAMS) were used to measure the chemical composition of single particles in the atmosphere


    In response to the collected 11 samples of Beijing atmospheric single particles, Zhu Tong's research group used Raman microscopy to measure the chemical composition of 1,200 single particles in the samples
    .


    According to the characteristic Raman spectroscopy, (NH4)2SO4, NH4NO3, black carbon, organic matter, NaNO3 and a variety of mineral components were identified in a single particle


    Wang Mingjin, a postdoctoral fellow in the School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Peking University, and Zheng Nan, an out-of-site postdoctoral fellow, are the co-first authors of the paper, and Zhu Tong is the corresponding author
    .


    The research was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (91844000, 41421064, 20637020), the Ministry of Science and Technology (2008AA062503), the National Postdoctoral Fund (20100470166) and the 111 Plan Urban Air Pollution and Health Effects (B20009)
