Several aspects of the application of the maximum-entropy method (MEM) to the determination of particle size distributions by small-angle scattering (SAS) are discussed. The `historic' version of the MEM produces completely satisfying results. Limiting the data error from below (i.e.imposing a minimal relative error) is proposed as a solution of some convergence problems. The MEM is tested against the Fourier transform technique. The size distribution of Pb particles in an Al–Pb alloy is determined by the MEM and the Fourier transform technique. The size distributions obtained by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and SAXS show partial agreement.

Nano-TiO2 coating film is one of the efficient photocatalysts. The particle size distribution of TiO2 has important influence on photocatalytic activity. A new method to determine the particle size distribution of TiO2 nano-film coated on ceramic was developed, by which the images of film acquired by Atom force microscope (AFM) were processed, and TiO2 particles contacted with others were separated and detected. The particle size distributions of two TiO2 nano-films were determined.
