Özet
<p>According to the World Health Organization (WHO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are carbon- and hydrogencontaining</p><p>compounds with an atmospheric pressure of 101.32 kPa and a boiling point between 50 and 250 °C. Humans</p><p>are exposed to VOCs in various aspects of their daily lives. Due to their high vapour pressure and low boiling point, these</p><p>substances evaporate rapidly and are released into the ambient air through various activities. VOCs are released from</p><p>both natural and man-made sources. Most studies show that VOC concentrations in indoor environments are significantly</p><p>higher than in outdoor atmospheres [1]. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that certain of these substances can have</p><p>detrimental effects on human health. Therefore, their levels must be effectively monitored in indoor environments.</p><p>Various methods have already been developed to determine VOCs in gas samples. However, most of these methods are</p><p>time-consuming and require expensive instruments [2]. Therefore, there is a need for the development of fast, cost-effective</p><p>and easy methods for the effective analysis of VOCs in indoor environments. Solid phase microextraction (SPME), which</p><p>was introduced by Arthur and Pawliszyn in 1990, offers an efficient, environmentally friendly solution by combining</p><p>sampling, extraction, preconcentration and sample introduction in a single step [3]. SPME fibers are widely used due to</p><p>their miniaturised format, automation compatibility and operational simplicity. They traditionally utilise polymeric (e.g.</p><p>polydimethylsiloxane or polyacrylate) or carbon-based (e.g. graphene or carbon nanotubes) coatings. However, recent</p><p>studies have demonstrated that metal oxides such as titanium dioxide (TiO₂), lead oxide (PbO) and ruthenium dioxide</p><p>(RuO₂) have superior properties for use in SPME coatings. These properties include high thermal stability, mechanical</p><p>robustness, strong adsorption capacity and a large surface-to-volume ratio. To further enhance their performance, these</p><p>metal oxides can be engineered into porous structures, which significantly increases the surface area available for analyte</p><p>interaction, an essential feature, given that VOC adsorption predominantly occurs on the surface of the nanoparticles.</p><p>In this study, SPME fibres were prepared by coating metal oxide coatings based on RuO₂, IrO₂ and TiO₂ onto stainless</p><p>steel wires. These coatings were prepared using the methodologies outlined in the relevant literature [4,5,6]. To this end,</p><p>316-type stainless steel wires were treated in an ultrasonic bath with acetone, hydrochloric acid, water, and ethanol,</p><p>respectively. Then, a cocktail containing each Ru(III), Ti(IV) and Ir(III) ions was prepared in the presence of an HCl and</p><p>isopropyl alcohol mixture. The wires were then coated by dipping them into the coating solutions using the deep coating</p><p>method. The wires were then exposed to a drying process at 110 °C in an oven, followed by a calcination step at 450 °C.</p><p>Subsequently, the coated wires were attached in the SPME body to form fibres. The surface morphologies of each fiber</p><p>were revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Finally, the extraction performance of the prepared SPME fibres</p><p>was compared for some VOCs.</p>
