Based on series of porous carbon models, systematic Monte Carlo studies on the adsorption of acetonitrile (as a simple representative of polar volatile organic compounds) were performed. The influence of porosity and chemical composition of the carbon surface on CH3CN adsorption was studied and it was shown that both the factors influenced the adsorption mechanism. A decrease in the pore size and the introduction of oxygen surface groups led to a rise in adsorption energy and to an increase in the filling of accessible volume in the low-pressure part of the isotherm. However, from a practical point of view, it is easier to increase the adsorption by introducing polar groups on the carbon surface than by modifying the porosity.

Metallic 1T phase molybdenum disulfide (MoS) is among the most promising electrode materials for supercapacitors, but its capacitance and cyclability remain to be improved to meet the constantly increasing energy storage needs in portable electronics. In this study, we present a strategy, covalent functionalization, which achieves the improvement of capacitance of metallic 1T phase MoS. Covalently functionalized by the modifier 4-bromobenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate, the metallic MoS membrane exhibits increased interlayer spacing, slightly curled layered architecture, enhanced charge transfer, and improved adsorption capabilities toward electrolyte molecules and ions.

A new sample preparation and determination method, including HPLC-DAD analysis after Magnetic Solid Phase Extraction (MSPE), was developed to monitor the trace amounts of two types of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), Ibuprofen (IBP) and Ketoprofen (KP). In the proposed method, IBP and KP analytes were extracted from newly synthesized magnetic-based sorbent in a pH 4.0 buffer medium and enriched by desorbing again with ethanol to a smaller volume before chromatographic determinations.

A novel β-amyloid protein capillary microextraction column was designed and prepared using epitope molecular imprinting technology for specific recognition of trace β-amyloid proteins in complex biological matrices. Using N-terminal nonapeptide of β-amyloid protein as template molecule, choline chloride-MAA and N-hydroxymethyl acrylamide as functional monomers, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as crosslinker, the imprinted capillary monolithic column was prepared by thermal polymerization in the acetonitrile-water system. The optimal preparation parameters were obtained with the ratio of template: functional monomer: crosslinker at 1:6:16 (mmol/mmol/mmol).

In indirect detection, sample components lacking detectable properties are detected by adding a detectable component to the eluent, a so-called probe that interacts with the analytes to be detected. This study focuses on modeling indirect detection in two principally different cases. In case (1), the analyte component has the same charge as the probe component, so the probe acts as a co-ion of the analyte.

It is challenging to have comprehensive spatial lipidomic analysis by mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) due to the strong ion suppression and peak interference from high-abundance polar lipids to low-abundance poorly ionizable lipids. In this work, we proposed a new MSI approach via ambient liquid extraction techniques assisted by a new mixed-mode adsorptive material, graphene oxide (GO)/TiO nanocomposite. The material combines chelation affinity from TiO and hydrophobic interaction from GO.
