Thermal desorption spectrometry (TDS) involves heating materials to release absorbed or adsorbed compounds into the gas phase. These compounds are then analyzed using mass spectrometry to identify material attributes at the molecular level. This approach is crucial for understanding material behavior under different environmental circumstances and analyzing contamination, degradation, and the composition of complex systems.
