Abstract
A novel column made through the condensation reaction of TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) with silanol groups of the fused-silica capillary is described. EOF measurements under various buffer constitutions were used to monitor the completion of reactions. The results indicated that the EOF was dependent on the interactions between buffers and the bonded TiO2 NPs. With formate/Tris buffer, EOF reversal at pH below 5 and cathodic EOF at pH above 5 were indicated. The pI of the bonded TiO2 NPs was found at approximately ph 5. Only cathodic EOF was illustrated by substituting the mobile phase with either glutamate or phosphate buffer. It was elucidated that both glutamate and phosphate buffer yield a negative charge layer on the surface of TiO2 NPs attributable to the formation of a titanium complex. The CEC performance of the column was tested with angiotensin-type oligopeptides. Some parameters that would affect the retention behavior were investigated. The interactions between the bonded phases and the analytes were explicated by epitomized acid-base functional groups of the oligopepetides and the speciation of the surface oxide in different pH ranges. The average separation efficiencies of 3.1 x 10(4) plates/m is readily achieved with a column of 70 cm (50 cm) x 50 mum ID under an applied voltage of 15 kV, phosphate buffer (pH 6.0, 40 mM), and UV detection at 214 nm.
