Abstract

Gelatin microsphere-coated Fe3O4@graphene quantum dots (Fe3O4@GQD@GM) were designed and synthesized as a novel sorbent via ultrasonic-assisted dispersive magnetic solid-phase extraction (UA-DMSPE) method. The synthesized sorbent was identified and confirmed by FT-IR, XRD, VSM, and SEM techniques. UA-DMSPE was combined with corona discharge ion mobility spectrometry for trace determination of desipramine, sertraline, and citalopram. Effective parameters were considered and optimized. The proposed method, under optimal conditions, showed excellent linearity in different concentration ranges (2–700 ng mL–1, R2 > 0.995), repeatability (RSD < 5.1%), good sensitivity (LODs in the range 0.6–1.5 ng mL−1), high preconcentration factor (PF = 207–218), and acceptable relative recoveries (93.5–101.8%). Eventually, this method was used to determine tricyclic antidepressants in various biological samples.

The original online version of this article was revised: Figure 3 in the above article has been replaced. The authors apologize for an oversight during the submission process. The new figure presents additional data: EDX analysis was used to confirm the presence of Fe3O4 NPs in the composition of Fe3O4@GQDs@GM. The EDX spectrum revealed only the existence of C, N, O, and, Fe elements (Fig. 3C), which could be good evidence for the successful incorporation of Fe3O4@GQDs within the GM matrix.
