@jbae11 The introduction of the paper needs one to three paragraphs of concise literature review. According to Whitesides et al.:
The first paragraph or two should be written out completely. Pay particular attention to the opening sentence. Ideally, it should state concisely the objective of the work, and indicate why this objective is important. In general, the Introduction should have these elements:
The objectives of the work.
The justification for these objectives: Why is the work important?
Background: Who else has done what? How? What have we done previously?
Guidance to the reader: What should the reader watch for in the paper? What are the interesting high points? What strategy did we use?
Summary/conclusion: What should the reader expect as conclusion? In advanced versions of the outline, you should also include all the sections that will go in the Experimental section (at the level of paragraph subheadings) and indicate what information will go elsewhere...
