X-ray diffractive imaging of single molecules or nanoparticles at free-electron lasers allows the extraction of structural information at sub-nanometer resolution [1]. However, this requires the efficient production and delivery of isolated samples into the x-ray beam. We present our proposed aerosol source for the efficient production of a high-density aerosol of sub-100~nm nanoparticles, based on electrospray aerosolisation. The produced aerosol source will be characterized regarding its efficiency and density for different nanoparticle types and sizes using optical light scattering measurement [2] and differential particle mobility analysers.
