The potential of the electrospray technique in analyzing the structure of nonspherical colloidal particles that are below 100 nm in volume-equivalent diameter was demonstrated by online size measurement using a differential mobility analyzer (DMA) with a condensation nucleus counter (CNC) system. The measured mobility of gold nanorods was confirmed by electron microscope images and the theoretical calculation of particle mobility using the dynamic shape factor and slip correction factor. To evaluate the mobility, rod particles were modeled as both a cylinder and a prolate spheroid. This study also showed that the organic surfactant coated on rod particles might be removed and that the rod particles became spherical upon the elevation of the ambient temperature during the gas-phase dispersion of colloidal nanoparticles. Moreover, the thickness of the surfactants coated on rod particles was estimated by comparing the theoretically and experimentally obtained mobilities.
