Abstract
Nanoporous ion emitters (nano-PIEs) materials promote ionization efficiency of an analyte during thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS). The nano-PIE is a hierarchical material or a modified hierarchical material. The nano-PIE may comprise a coordination polymer (CP), a modified CP, or any combination thereof. Ionization efficiency is promoted by loading the nano-PIE and an analyte on a TIMS filament for subsequent TIMS analysis.
