PG - 536 LID - 10.1007/s00604-019-3553-z [doi] AB - The authors describe TiO(2) nanowires (TiO(2)NWs) for solid-phase microextraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Well-oriented TiO(2)NWs were in-situ grown on a titanium wire by a hydrothermal process. The TiO(2)NWs arrays are radially aligned on the curved titanium fiber substrate. They possess a large surface area and are readily accessible for subsequent self-assembly of trichlorophenylsilane via formation of Ti-O-Si bonds. The TiO(2)NWs coated fibers show good extraction selectivity for PAHs as shown for phenathrene, fluoranthene, pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene. Following desoption by mobile phases for HPLC analysis, the PAHs were quantified by HPLC with UV detection. The improved extraction capabilities and good selectivity are explained by synergistic hydrophobic and pi stacking interactions between the phenyl moieties and the PAHs. Key parameters that affect the extraction performance of the fibers were optimized. The method has a linear response in the 0.1 to 200 mug.L(-1) PAH concentration range. Limits of detection (at S/N = 3) range from 20 to 50 ng.L(-1). Relative standard deviations (RSDs) for the single fiber repeatability are less than 7.3% (n = 5) and RSDs for the fiber-to-fiber reproducibility are below 8.1% (n = 5). The method was successfully applied to the selective preconcentration and determination of trace PAHs in spiked water samples. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of fabrication and characterization of the Ti@TiO(2)NWs@Phenyl fiber. PAHs: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; UVFs: ultraviolet filters; PAEs: phthalate acid esters; CPs: chlorophenols.
