Novel solid‐phase microextraction fiber coatings: A review

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.
