Due to the intensive and multidisciplinary research carried out during the last two decades on carbon nanotubes (CNTs), the scientific community understands nowadays much better the chemistry, structure and properties of these interesting materials. In fact, they have found their particular place in a wide number of application fields (nanotechnology, electronics, optics, medicine, etc.) among which Analytical Chemistry is becoming more and more important. The aim of this review is to provide an updated report of the most recent manuscripts (years 2009-2011) regarding the use of CNTs in Separation Science. In particular, the use of CNTs as solid-phase extraction and microextraction sorbents, as part of membranes as well as their use in chromatography and electrophoresis will be discussed and commented. Besides, although not as fully related to Separation Science as the previous techniques, the use of CNTs as laser desorption/ionization substrates has also been considered because of its importance in the field.
由于在过去的二十年中对碳纳米管（CNTs）进行了密集的多学科研究，科学界现在对这些有趣材料的化学、结构和性质有了更好的理解。事实上，它们已经在许多应用领域（纳米技术、电子学、光学、医学等）找到了自己的位置，其中分析化学变得越来越重要。本综述的目的是提供关于 CNTs 在分离科学中应用的最新文献（2009-2011 年）的最新报告。特别是，将讨论和评论 CNTs 作为固相萃取和微萃取吸附剂、作为膜的一部分以及在色谱和电泳中的应用。此外，尽管与前几种技术相比，CNTs 作为激光解吸/电离基质的用途与分离科学的关系不那么密切，但由于其在该领域的重要性，也将对其进行考虑。
