A size separation method was developed for aqueous C60 fullerene aggregates (aqu/C60) using asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (AF4) coupled to a dynamic light scattering detector in flow through mode. Surfactants, which are commonly used in AF4, were avoided as they may alter suspension characteristics. Aqu/C60 aggregates generated by sonication in deionized water ranged in size from 80 to 260 nm in hydrodynamic diameter (Dh) as determined by DLS in flow through mode, which was corroborated by analysis of fractions by DLS in batch mode and by TEM. The mass of C60 in each fraction was determined by LC-APPI-MS. Only 5.2+/-6.7% of the total aqu/C60 mass had Dh less than 80 nm, while 58+/-32% of the total aqu/C60 mass had Dh between 80 and 150 nm and 14+/-9.2% of the total aqu/C60 were between 150 and 260 nm in Dh. With the optimal fractionation parameters, 77+/-5.8% of the aqu/C60 mass eluted from the AF4 channel, indicating deposition on the AF4 membrane had occurred during fractionation; use of alternative membranes did not reduce deposition. Channel flow splitting increased detector response although channel split ratios greater than 80% of the channel flow led to decreased detector response. This is the first report on the use of AF4 for fractionating a colloidal suspension of aqu/C60.
一种用于分离水相 C60 富勒烯聚集体(aqu/C60)的粒径分离方法,使用不对称流场流分级(AF4)与动态光散射检测器在流动模式下耦合。避免使用通常在 AF4 中使用的表面活性剂,因为它们可能会改变悬浮液的特性。通过在去离子水中超声处理产生的 aqu/C60 聚集体的水动力直径(Dh)在 80 至 260nm 范围内,通过 DLS 在流动模式下确定,这与通过 DLS 在批量模式下和 TEM 分析各馏分得到的结果相吻合。通过 LC-APPI-MS 确定每个馏分中 C60 的质量。只有 5.2+/-6.7%的总 aqu/C60 质量的 Dh 小于 80nm,而 58+/-32%的总 aqu/C60 质量的 Dh 在 80 至 150nm 之间,14+/-9.2%的总 aqu/C60 的 Dh 在 150 至 260nm 之间。在最佳分级参数下,77+/-5.8%的 aqu/C60 质量从 AF4 通道洗脱,表明在分级过程中在 AF4 膜上发生了沉积;使用替代膜并没有减少沉积。通道分流增加了检测器的响应,尽管通道分流比大于通道流量的 80%会导致检测器的响应降低。这是首次报道使用 AF4 对水相 C60 胶体悬浮液进行分级。
