The contents of the introduction are answers to questions [3,4]: (1). Background, (2). Brief literature review of related research (3). Reasons for conducting this research and (4). Purpose question. State of the art, gap analysis and noverlity can be seen here. Avoid discussing general literature reviews and definitions.

Research Methodology

Describe the preparation method and characterization techniques used. Describe briefly, but remain accurate such as size, volume, replication. For new methods, it should be explained in detail so that other researchers can reproduce the experiment. Meanwhile, established methods can be explained by picking references [5-7].
