Recent advances in nanomaterial-based capillary electrophoresis

Abstract

This review gives a summary of applications of different nanomateials, such as gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), carbon-based nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), and nano-sized metal organic frameworks (MOFs), in electrophoretic separations. This review also emphasizes the recent works in which nanoparticles (NPs) are used as pseudostationary phase (PSP) or immobilized on the capillary surface for enhancement of separation in CE, CEC, and microchips electrophoresis.

Keywords: Capillary electrophoresis; Carbon nanomaterials; Gold nanoparticles; Magnetic nanoparticles; Silicon-based nanoparticles.
