Microanalysis of Multi-Element in Juncus effusus L. by LIBS Technique

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was used to decipher the unique multi-elemental characteristics of Juncus e?usus L. The spectral fingerprints of Juncus e?usus L. were established based on elemental microanalysis via LIBS. Microanalysis and multimode sam?pling methodologies were designed in this study. The relative standard deviation (RSD) approach was performed to optimize the multi-shot measurements. Taking advantage of the capability with no or minimal sample pre-treatment of LIBS, a thermodynamic chart of four elements (Mg, Ca, Ba, and Na) was created from twelve collection regions. The diagram of elemental distribution on a micro-scale was generated to explore the nature of Juncus e?usus L. by LIBS. The results demon?strated that LIBS is a promising technique for rapid elemental microanalysis of heterogeneous samples.
