Abstract
The development of the valid strategy to enhance laser desorption/ionization efficiency gives rise to widespread concern in surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (SALDI-MS) technology. Herein, a hybrid of Au NP-decorated graphdiyne (Au/GDY) was fabricated and employed as the SALDI-MS matrix for the first time, and a mechanism based on photothermal and photochemical energy conversions was proposed to understand LDI processes. Given theoretical simulations and microstructure characterizations, it was revealed that the formation of a coupled thermal field and internal electric field endow the as-prepared Au/GDY matrix with superior desorption and ionization efficiency, respectively. Moreover, laser-induced matrix ablation introduced strain and defect level into the Au/GDY hybrid, suppressing the recombination of charge carriers and thereby facilitating analyte ionization. The optimized Au/GDY matrix allowed for reliable detection of trace sulfacetamide and visualization of exogenous/endogenous components in biological tissues. This work offers an integrated solution to promote LDI efficiency based on collaborative photothermal conversion and internal electric field, and may inspire the design of novel semiconductor-based surface matrices.

Magnetic Nanoparticle-Based Surface-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry for Cosmetics Detection in Contaminated Fingermarks: Magnetic Recovery and Surface Roughness.

Abstract
In this work, we propose a matrix-free approach for the analysis of fingermarks (FMs) contaminated with five cosmetic products containing different active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) using surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (SALDI-MS). For this purpose, a magnetic SALDI substrate based on Fe3O4-CeO2 magnetic nanoparticles was prepared, characterized, and optimized for the analysis of contaminated FMs without sample pretreatment. Initially, groomed FM and cosmetic products were separately analyzed, and their major components were successfully detected. Subsequently, FMs contaminated with Ordinary serum and Skinoren, Dermovate, Bepanthen, and Eucerin creams were analyzed, and components of FM and cosmetics were detected. The stability of the cosmetics in FMs was studied over an interval of 28 days, and all components showed good stability in FM for 4 weeks. Recovery of contaminated FMs from different surfaces utilizing a few microliters of the magnetic substrate was carried out using a simple external magnetic field from ceramic, plastic, metal, and glass. Successful retrieval of the API and FM components was achieved with magnetic recovery, and glass exhibited the best recovery, whereas ceramic tile demonstrated the lowest recovery. This was supported by atomic force microscopy study, which revealed that the ceramic surface had higher roughness than the other surfaces employed in this study, which adversely affected the magnetic maneuvering. This proof-of-concept investigation extends the application of SALDI-MS in forensic analysis of contaminated FMs by exploring cosmetics as exogenous materials and their stability and recovery from different surfaces.

Abstract
Herein, a matrix-free approach is presented for comprehensive environmental and forensic analysis of dyes and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) using Au-TiO2 nanohybrids coupled with surface-assisted pulsed laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry (SALDI-MS). The Au-TiO2 nanohybrids was prepared and characterized using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface area measurements, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS). Initially, the optimal Au content was assessed using the survival yield (SY) method, confirming that 7.5% Au content on the TiO2 surface offered the highest ionization efficiency. Subsequently, environmental analyses of dyes and NSAIDs in water samples were performed, and sensitive detection of all analytes was achieved with limits of detection (LODs) ranging from 10.0 ng mL-1 to 10.0 fg mL-1 and good spot-to-spot reproducibility. Additionally, the effect of potential contaminants commonly found in environmental samples, such as salts, surfactants and pesticides was also considered. Despite signal intensity reduction at high concentrations of some salts, the target analytes were detected, while the presence of surfactants and pesticides did not cause significant signal intensity reduction. Additionally, dyed and undyed Tetoron fibers and the effect of adhesive tape were evaluated. Direct analysis of the dyed Tetoron fibers on the target plate, using the nanohybrids, enabled higher detection sensitivity of the dyes, in addition to adducts of polystyrene and cellulose, the main components of the fiber. Finally, NSAIDs in oral fluid were analyzed and sensitive detection of the analytes was observed using the nanohybrids with LODs and LOQs in the range of 0.1-10 ng mL-1 and 1-20 ng mL-1, respectively. The trueness of the exact mass was in the range of 0.64-6.2 ppm while the recovery of the spiked samples was in the range of 82.90-107.54%% indicating the efficiency of the Au-TiO2 nanohybrids as SALDI substrate. Thus, the Au-TiO2 nanohybrids hold considerable promise in terms of sensitivity, reproducibility, and LOD, and may significantly contribute to environmental and forensic identification.

Abstract
The efficient detection of small molecules is of significance for environmental monitoring, pharmacology, metabolomics, and lipidomics. The laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI MS) platform enables high sensitivity, accuracy, resolution, and throughput in molecular analysis, but its analytical capability with respect to small molecules is limited due to inherent drawbacks arising from conventional organic matrices. The selection of an appropriate matrix is thus a precondition for small molecule detection by LDI MS. To date, various inorganic matrices have been developed, with a growing interest in composite materials displaying synergetic effects. This Minireview highlights the development of nanocomposites as LDI matrices driven by numerous innovations in material science, and their emerging use in small-molecule analysis.

Abstract
The development of a sample substrate with superior performance for desorption and ionization of analyte is the key issue to ameliorate the quality of mass spectra for measurements of small molecules in surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (SALDI-MS). Herein, the homogeneous sample substrate of gold nanoparticle multilayers (AuNPs-ML) with hexagonal lattice was successfully prepared by self-assembly technique. With strong surface plasmon resonance absorption and superior photothermal effect, the sample substrate of AuNPs-ML exhibited high signal sensitivity and low background noise for the detection of model analyte of glucose without additional matrixes in SALDI-MS. Furthermore, compared to merchant matrixes of α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB), the sample substrate of AuNPs-ML was demonstrated to ameliorate the quality of mass spectra, including signal strength, background interference and signal/noise (S/N) ratio. The sucrose and tryptophan were also measured to show the extensive applications of AuNPs-ML sample substrate for the detections of small molecules in SALDI-MS. Most importantly, the remarkable reproducibility of glucose mass spectra with relative signal of 7.3% was obtained by the use of AuNPs-ML sample substrate for SALDI-MS. The homogeneous sample substrate of AuNPs-ML greatly improved the quality of mass spectra because of its strong absorption of laser energy, low specific heat, high heat conductivity and extraordinary homogeneity. We believe that AuNPs-ML could be a practical sample substrate for small molecule detection in SALDI-MS.

Abstract
A powerful technique to detect bone biomarkers has been developed for assessment of osteoporosis at the early stage. Two-dimensional multilayered gold-nanoparticle thin film (MTF-AuNPs) was demonstrated as a promising test platform for detection of bone biomarker, hydroxyproline (HYP), measured by surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (SALDI-MS). With strong surface plasmon resonance and excellent homogeneity, facilely prepared, highly ordered, and large-scale MTF-AuNPs revealed high sensitivity of HYP in the SALDI-MS measurement without additional matrixes, such as α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB). Furthermore, the mass spectrum of HYP with MTF-AuNPs was significantly improved in signal intensity enhancement, background noise reduction, and signal-to-noise ratio amplification. The excellent reproducibility of HYP spectra with only 9.3% relative signal variation could be attributed to MTF-AuNPs' high absorbance at a wavelength of 337 nm, low heat capacity, superior thermal conductivity, and outstanding homogeneity. The calibration curve showed high linear correlation between mass spectrum intensity and HYP concentration in the range of 1 to 100 μM, covering the whole level in healthy people and osteoporosis patients. In particular, the serum sample was directly deposited onto the MTF-AuNP sample substrate without any pretreatment and its HYP concentration was then successfully determined. We believe that the combination of SALDI-MS and MTF-AuNP sample substrates would be a potential approach for bone biomarker detection in the osteoporosis risk assessment. Graphical abstract.
