Abstract
Numerous attempts have been made to replace commercial bulky gas chromatography (GC) systems with compact GC systems for monitoring volatile organic compounds in indoor air. However, recently developed compact GC systems are still too bulky in terms of user convenience, portability, and on-site analysis. Hence, an advanced miniaturization of compact GC systems is needed. Importantly, the small and high-performance gas pretreatment chip devices should be developed for compact GC systems. This paper reports the development of a metal-organic framework (MOF)-coated hybrid micro gas chromatography column chip (hybrid GC chip) capable of preconcentration and separation on harmful volatile organic compounds at low-concentration in one single chip device. The hybrid GC chip, 2 cm × 2 cm in size, was fabricated using a microelectromechanical systems process. The synthesized MOF-5 particles were coated on the inner wall of the fabricated hybrid GC chip and acted as an adsorbent and a stationary phase. The developed hybrid GC chip afforded high preconcentration factors with 1033-1237 and high separation resolutions with 3.8-13.3. The developed column showed good performance as a gas preconcentrator and separation column, and is the first device to perform both roles in one single chip device.

Abstract
Isoprene is a typical physiological marker that can be used to screen for chronic liver disease. This work developed a portable micro-integrated chromatography analysis system based on micro-electromechanical system technology, nanomaterials technology and embedded microcontroller technology. The system integrated components such as graphene oxide quantum dots modified semi-packed microcolumn, In2O3nanoflower (NF) gas-sensitive detector and 3D printed miniature solenoid valve group. The effectiveness of the separation effect of the micro-integrated system was verified by gas mixture test; the laws of the influence of carrier gas pressure and column temperature on the chromatographic separation performance, respectively, were investigated, and the working conditions (column temperature 90 °C and carrier gas pressure 7.5 kPa) for system testing were determined. The percentages of relative standard deviation of the peak areas and retention times obtained for the separated gases were in the range of 0.95%-6.06%, indicating the good reproducibility of the system. Meanwhile, the microintegrated system could detect isoprene down to 50 ppb at small injection volume (1 ml). The system response increased with increasing isoprene concentration and was linearly correlated with isoprene concentration (R2= 0.986), indicating that the system was expected to be used for trace detection of isoprene, a marker gas for liver disease, in the future.

Abstract
Seeded crystal growths of nanostructures within confined spaces offer an interesting approach to design chemical reaction spaces with tailored inner surface properties. However, such crystal growth within confined spaces tends to be inherently difficult as the length increases as a result of confinement effects. Here, we demonstrate a space-confined seeded growth of ZnO nanowires within meter-long microtubes of 100 μm inner diameter with the aspect ratio of up to 10 000, which had been unattainable to previous methods of seeded crystal growths. ZnO nanowires could be grown via seeded hydrothermal crystal growth for relatively short microtubes below the length of 40 mm, while any ZnO nanostructures were not observable at all for longer microtubes above 60 mm with the aspect ratio of 600. Microstructural and mass spectrometric analysis revealed that a conventional seed layer formation using zinc acetate is unfeasible within the confined space of long microtubes as a result of the formation of detrimental residual Zn complex compounds. To overcome this space-confined issue, a flow-assisted seed layer formation is proposed. This flow-assisted method enables growth of spatially uniform ZnO nanowires via removing residual compounds even for 1 m long microtubes with the aspect ratio of up to 10 000. Finally, the applicably of ZnO-nanowire-decorated long microtubes for liquid-phase separations was demonstrated.
