What is it about?

An electrophoretic deposition approach was developed to fabricate a robust ordered mesoporous carbon nitride (MCN) coating for solid-phase microextraction. Large surface area, uniform pore diameter, in-built N-rich functional groups, and electron delocalization properties make MCN a promising adsorbent for SPME by π-π, hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions between analytes and MCN.

Why is it important?

Beside their application in diverse fields (catalyst, Co2 capture, sensor...) , no studies for application of MCN in SPME have been reported so far. Although to the best of our knowledge, no studies on the fabrication of MCN by EPD method have been reported so far.

Perspectives

We believe that the mesoporous carbon nitride materials with different structural morphologies and composite with other materials can be prepared and further developed for the applications in SPME in the future.
