Facile fabrication of novel cobalt-based carbonaceous coatings on nickel-titanium alloy fiber substrate for selective solid-phase microextraction

Fabrication of selective adsorption coatings plays a crucial role in solid-phase microextraction(SPME).Herein,new strategies were developed for the in-situ fabrication of novel cobalt-based carbonaceous coatings on the nickel-titanium alloy(Ni Ti)fiber substrate using ZIF-67 as a precursor and template through the chemical reaction of ZIF-67 with glucose,dopamine(DA)and melamine,respectively.The adsorption performance of the resulting coatings was evaluated using representative aromatic compounds coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)with ultraviolet detection(HPLC-UV).The results clearly demonstrated that the adsorption selectivity was subject to the surface elemental composition of the fiber coatings.The cobalt and nitrogen co-doped carbonaceous coating showed better adsorption selectivity for ultraviolet filters.In contrast,the cobalt-doped carbonaceous coating exhibited higher adsorption selectivity for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.The fabricated fibers present higher mechanical stability and higher adsorption capability for model analytes than the commercial polydimethylsiloxane and polyacrylate fibers.These new strategies will continue to expand the Ni Ti fibers as versatile fiber substrates for metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)-derived coating materials with controllable nanostructures and tunable properties.

A hybrid monolithic column based on flower-shaped zeolitic imidazolate framework for efficient capillary microextraction of brominated flame retardants

A novel flower-shaped zeolitic imidazolate framework(ZIF) doped organic-inorganic hybrid monolithic column(ZIF-HMC) was prepared by a simple sol-gel "one-step" method and utilized for efficient capillary microextraction(CME) of four brominated flame retardants.The prepared monolithic was characterized by Fourier transform infrared,scanning electron microscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,energy disperse spectroscopy,and N_(2) adsorption-desorption.The parameters of CME were optimized by orthogonal array design.Under the optimal conditions,the ZIF-HMC showed excellent extraction efficiency,the limit of detection(LODs) and the limit of quantification(LOQs) were in the range of0.52$3.1 mg/L and 1.7$10 mg/L,respectively,and the proposed method demonstrated good recovery(88.8%–116.6%) with the RSD less than 13.6% and a reusability of at least 30 times.The ZIF-HMC possessed great potential for separating organic pollutants and the strategy used here could be extended to prepare other derivatized HMC functionalized monoliths.
