Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Graphene's high surface area makes it suitable for absorption.
  • Solid phase microextraction (SPME) requires efficient sorbent coatings.
  • Existing graphene-based SPME fibers have limitations in stability and sensitivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an ultrafast method for coating graphene onto metal fibers for SPME.
  • To improve the stability, durability, and extraction capacity of graphene-based SPME fibers.
  • To enhance the detection limits for trace analytes like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Main Methods:

  • Utilized semi-polymerized dimethylsiloxane as a pre-liner to adhere graphene.
  • Employed rapid heating of metal fibers to convert the pre-liner to polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), fixing the graphene.
  • Adjusted coating thickness (10-40 µm) using sleeve barrels for controlled graphene deposition.

Main Results:

  • Achieved stable graphene coating in 23 seconds, producing durable fibers usable for over 120 cycles and 20 months.
  • Observed formation of mossy graphene structures, significantly increasing extraction capacity.
  • Reached a limit of detection of 2 pg/L for PAHs, three orders of magnitude better than previous graphene fibers.
  • Demonstrated successful application in direct extraction of trace PAHs in beverages with high recoveries (88.9-105.3%) and low relative standard deviations (2.9-10.0%).

Conclusions:

  • The ultrafast graphene coating method offers a stable, durable, and highly efficient solution for SPME.
  • This technique significantly enhances analytical sensitivity for trace contaminants like PAHs.
  • The method is versatile, suitable for re-coating, and extendable to other sorbent materials.
