Abstract
Background
Sample preparation can be a critical stage of analytical procedures that profoundly influences their performance, environmental impact, and overall efficiency. While nanomaterials have revolutionized sample preparation owing to their high surface area-to-volume ratios, tunable surface chemistry, and enhanced adsorption capacities, limitations persist. Researchers have ushered in a new era of efficient sample preparation methodologies that could overcome the limitations of nanomaterials by introducing deep eutectic solvents (DESs), which have unique advantages such as low volatility and toxicity, biodegradability, and tunability.
Results
This review comprehensively explores the integration of DESs into nanomaterials in sample preparation methods. The review begins with a brief review of the different types of sample preparation techniques where DESs in combination with nanomaterials are used, including solid-phase extraction, solid-phase microextraction, and liquid-phase microextraction. The review then delves into different classes of nanomaterials depending on the functions of the DESs, that is, the modifier of nanosorbent, desorption or extraction solvent from nanosorbents, and carrier liquid in nanofluid. It further examines the applications of those nanomaterials to the quantitative analysis of a wide range of analytes within complex matrices. Finally, several challenges and concerns are discussed, including the stability, sustainability, and environmental impact of the materials, as well as the design of task-specific DESs.
Significance
Unlike previous reviews on DESs used as extraction solvents, this work is the first review of the nanomaterials in which DESs with diverse roles are involved. While addressing the challenges is crucial, the advantages and opportunities offered by the DES-based nanomaterials warrant further investigation for future development in sample preparation.
背景样品制备是分析程序的一个关键阶段,对其性能、环境影响和整体效率有着深远的影响。虽然纳米材料因其高表面积体积比、可调表面化学性质和更强的吸附能力给样品制备带来了革命性的变化,但其局限性依然存在。研究人员通过引入深共晶溶剂 (DES),开创了高效样品制备方法的新时代,这种方法可以克服纳米材料的局限性,而深共晶溶剂具有独特的优势,例如低挥发性、低毒性、生物可降解性和可调性。综述首先简要回顾了将 DESs 与纳米材料结合使用的不同类型的样品制备技术,包括固相萃取、固相微萃取和液相微萃取。然后,根据 DESs 的功能(即纳米吸附剂的改性剂、纳米吸附剂的解吸或萃取溶剂以及纳米流体中的载液)深入探讨了不同类别的纳米材料。报告进一步探讨了这些纳米材料在复杂基质中多种分析物定量分析中的应用。最后,还讨论了几个挑战和关注点,包括材料的稳定性、可持续性和对环境的影响,以及特定任务 DESs 的设计。尽管应对挑战至关重要,但基于 DES 的纳米材料所提供的优势和机遇值得进一步研究,以促进样品制备的未来发展。
