“…Electrothermal vaporization (ETV), as a versatile direct solid sampling approach, has been employed to combine with various atomic spectrometers or inorganic mass spectrometers for elemental analysis in soil, food, biological, and other samples. − The vaporizer’s features and elemental vaporization behaviors mainly depend on ETV materials, which are frequently fabricated into a strip, coil, rod, or furnace with high melting point metals (such as Ta, W, or Re), graphite, or metal ceramics. − Among them, graphite furnaces , are the most commonly used to directly introduce a solid or slurry sample and then couple with AAS and ICPOES/MS for elemental analysis including Hg and Cd; however, the high energy consumption, large water-cooling system, and <1 mg maximum sample size disable its field deployment. Thus, a high efficiency, small size, and low power consumption vaporizer should be designed for easy sample introduction and sensitive detection with the aim of miniature, field, and portable instrumentation fabrication.…”
