The electrodynamic balance (EDB) has been widely employed as an experimental tool to study the physics and chemistry of a particle and a droplet with a diameter between 5 μm and 200 μm. In this technique, a single charged particle or droplet is levitated by the fields created by the DC and AC electrodes and the shape and mass of individual particles can be characterized. This review has touched on the applications of EDB in chemical thermodynamic properties of droplet and the phase changes of deliquescent substances.
