Abstract We present a systematic study on the developments of aerosol-based analytical methods for the synthesis of functional nanomaterial colloids. Electrospray-differential mobility analysis is employed to study dis-assembly/de-aggregation of metal organic framework, quantification of nanosheet graphene oxide colloids, protein-silver nanoparticle interactions, ligand–nanoparticle interactions for silica, ceria, and titania nanopowders, and orthogonal analysis of functional gold nanoparticles for biomedical applications. Physical size and colloidal stability of nanomaterials are tunable by the adjustment of environmental conditions. Complementary physical, microscopic and spectroscopic characterization methods are incorporated to the study, allowing for a concept of applications of nanomaterial colloids involving the control of particle size and homogeneity and further proving the capability of in-situ semi-quantitative analysis in a variety of aqueous formulations.
