“…requires analytical methods with high speed and sensitivity [2,3]. Numerous analytical methods, such as laser photoacoustic spectroscopy [4], fluorescence [5][6][7], surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) [8,9], nano-electrical devices [10], mass spectrometry, ion mobility spectroscopy, and X-ray imaging [11] have been used or proposed as suitable methods for the detection and quantification of nitro-explosives, such as 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT), cyclo-1,3,5-trimethylene-2,4,6-trinitramine (RDX) and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) et al Capillary electrophoresis (CE) [12], ion chromatography (IC) [13], electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) [14], and electrospray ionization ion mobility spectrometry (ESI-IMS) [15] have been employed to detect characteristic ions of inorganic explosives, such as ClO 4 − , ClO 3 − , or NO 3 − [16,17], which are known for their high stability and non-volatility.…”
