Abstract

The Review provides detail information regarding X-ray powder diffraction technique (XRPD). X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) is innovative analytical technique used for determination of crystalline or amorphous nature of compound. XRPD technique is important for investigation of nanocrystalline form of the compound. XRPD techniques provide information about formation of polymorphs or hydrate under various environmental conditions. XRPD used in various fields and covered huge area of Academic and industrial research.
