Abstract
Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) has been widely proposed for the extraction, clean-up, and preconcentration of analytes of environmental concern. Enrichment capabilities, preconcentration efficiency, sample throughput, and selectivity in extracting target compounds greatly depend on the materials used as SPME coatings. Supramolecular materials have emerged as promising porous coatings to be used for the extraction of target compounds due to their unique selectivity, three-dimensional framework, flexible design, and possibility to promote the interaction between the analytes and the coating by means of multiple oriented functional groups. The present review will cover the state of the art of the last 5 years related to SPME coatings based on metal organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and supramolecular macrocycles used for environmental applications.

Abstract
The contents of target substances in biological samples are usually at low concentration levels, and the matrix of biological samples is usually complex. Sample preparation is considered a very critical step in bioanalysis. At present, the utilization of microextraction sampling technology has gained considerable prevalence in the realm of biological analysis. The key developments in this field focus on the efficient microextraction media and the miniaturization and automation of adaptable sample preparation methods currently. In this review, the recent progress on the microextraction sampling technologies for bioanalysis has been introduced from point of view of the preparation of microextraction media and the microextraction sampling strategies. The advance on the microextraction media was reviewed in detail, mainly including the aptamer-functionalized materials, molecularly imprinted polymers, carbon-based materials, metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, etc. The advance on the microextraction sampling technologies was summarized mainly based on in-vivo sampling, in-vitro sampling and microdialysis technologies. Moreover, the current challenges and perspective on the future trends of microextraction sampling technologies for bioanalysis were briefly discussed.

Abstract
The increasing health risks posed by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in the environment highlight the importance of implementing effective removal techniques. Conventional wastewater treatment processes are inadequate for removing persistent organic pollutants. Recent studies have increasingly demonstrated that metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are capable of removing PFASs from water through adsorption techniques. However, there is still constructive discussion on the potential of MOFs in adsorbing and removing PFASs for large-scale engineering applications. This review systematically investigates the use of MOFs as adsorbents for the removal of PFAS in water treatment. This primarily involved a comprehensive analysis of existing literature to understand the adsorption mechanisms of MOFs and to identify factors that enhance their efficiency in removing PFASs. We also explore the critical aspects of regeneration and stability of MOFs, assessing their reusability and long-term performance, which are essential for large-scale water treatment applications. Finally, our study highlights the challenges of removing PFASs using MOFs. Especially, the efficient removal of short-chain PFASs with hydrophilicity is a major challenge, while medium- to long-chain PFASs are frequently susceptible to being captured from water by MOFs through multiple synergistic effects. The ion-exchange force may be the key to solving this difficulty, but its susceptibility to ion interference in water needs to be addressed in practical applications. We hope that this review can provide valuable insights into the effective removal and adsorption mechanisms of PFASs as well as advance the sustainable utilization of MOFs in the field of water treatment, thereby presenting a novel perspective.

Molecularly imprinted polymer sheathed mesoporous silica tube as SPME fiber coating for determination of tobacco-specific nitrosamines in water. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 906:167655. [PMID: 37806576 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.167655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2023] [Revised: 10/02/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023]
Abstract
Tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) are probably carcinogenic disinfection byproducts eliciting health risk concerns. The determination and surveillance of TSNAs in water is still cumbersome due to the lack of advanced sample preparation methods. Herein, we prepared a solid phase microextraction (SPME) fiber coated with the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) sheathed mesoporous silica tube (MST) composite material, and developed a highly efficient, selective, and sensitive method for the determination of five TSNAs in water. Benefiting from the TSNAs-specific recognition of MIP and the increased specific surface area derived from MST, the MIP@MST fiber exhibited excellent extraction performance for TSNAs, which was much superior to the commercially available SPME fibers. By coupling to high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), the outstanding analytical merits such as low method detection limits (ranging 0.1-6.7 ng L-1) and good reproducibility (intra-fiber and inter-fiber relative standard deviations ranging 4.1 %-11.6 % and 3.5 %-12.2 %, respectively) were achieved with the consumption of 8 mL water sample and 100 μL methanol solvent in 50 min. The feasibility of the SPME-HPLC-MS/MS method was demonstrated in tap water and chloraminated source water, with relative recoveries for the five TSNAs ranging from 85.2 % to 108.5 %. In result, none of the TSNAs were found in the tap water samples, while 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-Butanol (NNAL) were detected in the chloraminated source water samples. The rapid and convenient SPME-HPLC-MS/MS method developed in this study offers a powerful tool for monitoring TSNAs in water.

An Overview on Recent Advances in Biomimetic Sensors for the Detection of Perfluoroalkyl Substances. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 24:130. [PMID: 38202993 PMCID: PMC10781331 DOI: 10.3390/s24010130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of materials that have been widely used in the industrial production of a wide range of products. After decades of bioaccumulation in the environment, research has demonstrated that these compounds are toxic and potentially carcinogenic. Therefore, it is essential to map the extent of the problem to be able to remediate it properly in the next few decades. Current state-of-the-art detection platforms, however, are lab based and therefore too expensive and time-consuming for routine screening. Traditional biosensor tests based on, e.g., lateral flow assays may struggle with the low regulatory levels of PFAS (ng/mL), the complexity of environmental matrices and the presence of coexisting chemicals. Therefore, a lot of research effort has been directed towards the development of biomimetic receptors and their implementation into handheld, low-cost sensors. Numerous research groups have developed PFAS sensors based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) or aptamers. In order to transform these research efforts into tangible devices and implement them into environmental applications, it is necessary to provide an overview of these research efforts. This review aims to provide this overview and critically compare several technologies to each other to provide a recommendation for the direction of future research efforts focused on the development of the next generation of biomimetic PFAS sensors.

Abstract
Despite their many advantages, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) built from three-dimensional monomers are synthetically difficult to functionalize. Herein, we provide a new synthetic approach to the functionalization of a three-dimensional covalent organic framework (COF-300) by using a series of solid-state linkage transformations. By reducing the imine linkages of the framework to amine linkages, we produced a more hydrolytically stable material and liberated a nucleophilic amino group, poised for further functionalization. We then treated the amine-linked COF with diverse electrophiles to generate a library of functionalized materials, which we tested for their ability to adsorb perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water. The framework functionalized with dimethylammonium groups, COF-300-dimethyl, adsorbed more than 250 mg of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) per 1 g of COF, which represents an approximately 14,500-fold improvement over that of COF-300 and underscores the importance of electrostatic interactions to PFAS adsorption performance. This work provides a conceptually new approach to the design and synthesis of functional three-dimensional COFs.

Abstract
Elemental carbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC) exist ubiquitously and interact mutually in the environment. Simultaneous analysis of EC and OC will greatly advance our understanding of the behavior and fate of EC and OC, but is however still a great challenge due to the lack of suitable analytical tools. Here, we report a matrix-free laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) method capable of simultaneous analysis of EC and OC by monitoring two independent groups of specific MS fingerprint peaks. We found that EC itself can generate carbon cluster peaks in the low mass range under laser excitation, and meanwhile it can also serve as a matrix to assist the ionization of OC in LDI-MS. By using per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) as a typical set of OC and carbon black (CB) as a model EC, we successfully monitored the adsorption process of PFASs on CB enabled by LDI-MS. We show that hydrophobic interaction dominates the sorption of PFASs to CB, which was affected by the functional groups and carbon chain length of PFASs. Furthermore, environmental substances in water such as humic acid (HA) and surfactants can significantly affect the adsorption of PFASs on CB probably by changing the adsorption sites of CB. Overall, we demonstrate that LDI-MS offers a versatile and high-throughput tool for simultaneous analysis of EC and OC species in real environmental samples, which makes it promising for investigating the environmental behaviors and ecological risks of pollutants.

Abstract
Industrial wastewater is a substantial source of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in the environment. However, very limited information is available on the occurrences and fates of PFASs along industrial wastewater treatment processes, particularly for the textile dyeing industry where PFASs occur extensively. Herein, the occurrences and fates of 27 legacy and emerging PFASs were investigated along the processes of three full-scale textile dyeing wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) based on UHPLC-MS/MS in combination with self-developed solid extraction protocol featuring selective enrichment for ultrasensitive analysis. The total PFASs ranged at 630-4268 ng L-1 in influents, 436-755 ng L-1 in effluents, and 91.5-1182 μg kg-1 in the resultant sludge. PFAS species distribution varied among WWTPs, with one WWTP dominated by legacy perfluorocarboxylic acids while the other two dominated by emerging PFASs. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) was trivial in the effluents from all the three WWTPs, indicating its diminished use in textile industry. Various emerging PFASs were detected at different abundances, demonstrating their use as alternatives to legacy PFASs. Most conventional processes of the WWTPs were inefficient in removing PFASs, especially for the legacy PFASs. The microbial processes could remove the emerging PFASs to different extents, whereas commonly elevated the concentrations of legacy PFASs. Over 90% of most PFASs could be removed by reverse osmosis (RO) and was enriched into the RO concentrate accordingly. The total oxidizable precursors (TOP) assay revealed that the total concentration of PFASs was increased by 2.3-4.1 times after oxidation, accompanied by formation of terminal perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) and degradation of emerging alternatives to various extents. This study is believed to shed new light on the monitoring and management of PFASs in industries.

Abstract
Liquid-crystal monomers (LCMs), especially fluorinated biphenyls and analogues (FBAs), are identified to be an emerging generation of persistent organic pollutants. However, there is a dearth of information about their occurrence and distribution in environmental water and lacustrine soil samples. Herein, a series of fluorine-functionalized Scholl-coupled microporous polymers (FSMP-X, X = 1-3) were designed and synthesized for the highly efficient and selective enrichment of FABs. Their hydrophobicity, porosity, chemical stability, and adsorption performance (capacity, rate, and selectivity) were regulated preciously. The best-performing material (FSMP-2) was employed as the on-line fluorous solid-phase extraction (on-line FSPE) adsorbent owing to its high adsorption capacity (313.68 mg g-1), fast adsorption rate (1.05 g h-1), and specific selectivity for FBAs. Notably, an enrichment factor of up to 590.2 was obtained for FSMP-2, outperforming commercial C18 (12.6-fold). Also, the underlying adsorption mechanism was uncovered by density functional theory calculations and experiments. Based on this, a novel and automated on-line FSPE-high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed for ultrasensitive (detection limits: 0.0004-0.0150 ng mL-1) and low matrix effect (73.79-113.3%) determination of LCMs in lake water and lacustrine soils. This study offers new insight into the highly selective quantification of LCMs and the first evidence for their occurrence and distribution in these environmental samples.

An ultrastable 2D covalent organic framework coating for headspace solid-phase microextraction of organochlorine pesticides in environmental water. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 452:131228. [PMID: 36963192 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2022] [Revised: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Herein, a quinoline-linked ultrastable 2D covalent organic framework (COF-CN) coated fiber was successfully prepared and used for highly-sensitive headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in environmental water. The extraction efficiency of the COF-CN coating for all 14 OCPs was higher than that of four commercial SPME fiber coatings and most of the published works, with enrichment factors ranging from 540 to 5065. In combination with gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS), a wide linear range (0.05-200 ng/L), low detection limits (LODs, 0.0010-13.54 ng/L) and satisfactory reproducibility and repeatability were obtained under optimal conditions. Compared with the published works, the LODs of the developed technique were improved 2-5.9 times, and the enrichment factors (EFs) of the developed method were enhanced at least 2 times. The COF-CN coated fiber can be easily recycled and reused at least 70 times without any washing step. The adsorption mechanism was first characterized by density functional theory calculations and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. Besides, the established method was successfully applied to the analysis of the distribution of trace OCPs in real water samples from Henan Province. All these results proved the promising application of the developed HS-SPME-GC-MS/MS method for organic pollutants analysis in water samples.

Abstract
Enriching and detecting the trace pollutants in actual matrices are critical to evaluating the water quality. Herein, a novel nanofibrous membrane, named PAN-SiO2@TpPa, was prepared by in situ growing β-ketoenamine-linked covalent organic frameworks (COF-TpPa) on the aminated polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers, and adopted for enriching the trace polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in various natural water body (river, lake and sea water) through the solid-phase micro-extraction (SPME) process. The resulted nanofibrous membrane owned abundant functional groups (-NH-, -OH and aromatic groups), outstandingly thermal and chemical stability, and excellent ability in extracting PCBs congeners. Based on the SPME process, the PCBs congeners could be quantitatively analyzed by the traditional gas chromatography (GC) method, with the satisfactory linear relationship (R2>0.99), low detection limit (LODs, 0.1∼5 ng L-1), high enrichment factors (EFs, 2714∼3949) and multiple recycling (>150 runs). Meanwhile, when PAN-SiO2@TpPa was adopted in the real water samples, the low matrix effects on the enrichment of PCBs at both 5 and 50 ng L-1 over PAN-SiO2@TpPa membrane firmly revealed the feasibility of enriching the trace PCBs in real water. Besides, the related mechanism of extracting PCBs on PAN-SiO2@TpPa mainly involved the synergistic effect of hydrophobic effect, π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
The contamination of surface and ground water by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) has become a growing concern, and the structural diversity of PFASs is the major challenge for their ubiquitous applications. Strategies for monitoring coexistent anionic, cationic, and zwitterionic PFASs even at trace levels in aquatic environments are urgently demanded for effective pollution control. Herein, novel amide group and perfluoroalkyl chain-functionalized covalent organic frameworks (COFs) named COF-NH-CO-F9 are successfully synthesized and used for highly efficient extraction of broad-spectrum PFASs, attributing to their unique structure and the multifunctional groups. Under the optimal conditions, a simple and high-sensitivity method is established to quantify 14 PFASs including anionic, cationic, and zwitterionic species by coupling solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) for the first time. The established method displays high enrichment factors (EFs) of 66-160, ultrahigh sensitivity with low limits of detection (LODs) of 0.0035-0.18 ng L-1, a wide linearity of 0.1-2000 ng L-1 with correlation coefficient (R2) ≥0.9925, and satisfactory precision with relative standard deviations (RSDs) ≤11.2%. The excellent performance is validated in real water samples with recoveries of 77.1-108% and RSDs ≤11.4%. This work highlights the potential of rational design of COFs with the desired structure and functionality for the broad-spectrum enrichment and ultrasensitive determination of PFASs in real applications.

Abstract
Probe nanoelectrospray ionization mass spectrometry (PESI-MS) is practically desirable for rapid and ultra-sensitive analysis of trace contaminants in environment, but limited with the stable and selective probe coating. Herein, we show the design and preparation of irreversible fluorine-based covalent organic framework (TFPPA-F4) covalently bonded probe to couple with ESI-MS (TFPPA-F4-PESI-MS) for direct and rapid determination of perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) in environmental water. Chemical bonding coating of irreversible crystalline TFPPA-F4 not only improved stability of the probe, but also offered accessible multiple interactions including hydrophobic, hydrogen bonding and F-F interactions to promote the kinetics and selectivity for PFCAs. The proposed TFPPA-F4-PESI-MS realized rapid determination of PFCAs (about 4 min) with low limits of detection of 0.06-0.88 ng L-1 and wide linear range of 1-5000 ng L-1 (R2 of 0.9982-0.9998). Recoveries for the spiked lake and pond water were 85.9-111.1 %. TFPPA-F4 based probe can maintain the extraction performance after 100 times of extraction. This work shows the great potential of the irreversible covalent organic framework based PESI-MS in rapid and ultra-sensitive determination of contaminants in environmental samples.

Enhanced performance of ZIF-8 nanocrystals hybrid monolithic composites via an in-situ growth strategy for efficient capillary microextraction of perfluoroalkyl phosphonic acids.

Abstract
Enrichment of perfluoroalkyl phosphonic acids (PFPAs) is of great significance and challenging for environmental monitoring, due to their toxic and persistent nature, highly fluorinated character as well as low concentration. Herein, novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hybrid monolithic composites were prepared via metal oxide-mediated in situ growth strategy and utilized for capillary microextraction (CME) of PFPAs. A porous pristine monolith was initially obtained by copolymerization of the zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs)-dispersed methacrylic acid (MAA) with ethylenedimethacrylate (EDMA) and dodecafluoroheptyl acrylate (DFA). Afterwards, nanoscale-facilitated transformation of ZnO nanocrystals into the zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanocrystals was successfully realized via the dissolution-precipitation of the embedded ZnO-NPs in the precursor monolith in the presence of 2-methylimidazole. Experimental and spectroscopic results (SEM, N2 adsorption-desorption, FT-IR, XPS) revealed that the coating of ZIF-8 nanocrystals significantly increased the surface area of the obtained ZIF-8 hybrid monolith and endowed the material abundant surface-localized unsaturated zinc sites. The proposed adsorbent showed highly enhanced extraction performance for PFPAs in CME, which was mainly ascribed to the strong fluorine affinity, Lewis acid/base complexing, anion-exchange, and weakly π-CF interaction. The coupling of CME with LC-MS enables effective and sensitive analysis of ultra-trace PFPAs in environment water and human serum. The coupling method demonstrated low detection limits (2.16-4.12 ng L-1) with satisfactory recoveries (82.0-108.0%) and precision (RSDs ≤6.2%). This work offered a versatile route to design and fabricate selective materials for emerging contaminant enrichment in complicated matrices.

Abstract
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of recalcitrant molecules that have been used since the 1940s in a variety of applications. They are now linked to a host of negative health outcomes and are extremely resistant to degradation under environmental conditions. Currently, membrane technologies or adsorbents are used to remediate contaminated water. These techniques are either inefficient at capturing smaller PFAS molecules, have high energy demands, or result in concentrated waste that must be incinerated at high temperatures. This Review focuses on what role metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) may play in addressing the PFAS problem. Specifically, how the unique properties of MOFs such as their well-defined pore sizes, ultra-high internal surface area, and tunable surface chemistry may be a sustainable solution for PFAS contamination.

Abstract
Perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) were ubiquitously in the surface and groundwater. It is crucial and urgent to develop a rapid and ultrasensitive analysis method for the quantification of trace-level PFASs. Herein, a highly hydrophobic sorbent by capping phenylsilane groups on the surfaces of NH2-UiO-66(Zr) nanocrystals was used for efficient solid-phase microextraction (SPME) of PFASs in water samples. It was found that the superficially capped nanocrystals (NH2-UiO-66(Zr)-hp) exhibited both faster extraction kinetics and higher enrichment capacity than the non-capped nanocrystals. The extraction of eleven kinds of PFASs by NH2-UiO-66(Zr)-hp fiber reached equilibrium in 20 min. The enrichment factors of the NH2-UiO-66(Zr)-hp fiber ranged from 6.5 to 48, with a preference for long-chain PFASs over short-chain PFASs. It was proposed that superficial capping eliminated competitive moisture adsorption on the surfaces of the non-capped nanocrystals, thus facilitating the adsorption of PFASs through hydrophobic interaction. By using this new sorbent, the limits of detection of the SPME method as low as 0.035 to 0.616 ng·L-1 were achieved for the target PFASs. The recoveries of PFASs in the environmental water samples were 80.9%-120%. This study presents a new strategy for developing an efficient sorbent for PFASs by surface hydrophobic modification.

Abstract
The materials used for the fabrication of solid-phase microextraction fiber coatings in the past five years are summarized in the current review, including carbon, metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, aerogel, polymer, ionic liquids/poly (ionic liquids), metal oxides, and natural materials. The preparation approaches of different coatings, such as sol-gel technique, in-situ growth, electrodeposition, and glue methods, are briefly reviewed together with the evolution of the supporting substrates. In addition, the limitations of the current coatings and the future development directions of solid-phase microextraction are presented.
