Abstract
Stable potassium isotopes are one of the emerging non-traditional isotope systems enabled in recent years by the advance of Multi-Collector Inductively-Coupled-Plasma Mass-Spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS). In this review, we first summarize the geochemical and cosmochemical properties of K, its major reservoirs, and the analytical methods of K isotopes. Following this, we review recent literature on K isotope applications in the fields of geochemistry and cosmochemistry. Geochemically, K is a highly incompatible lithophile element, and a highly soluble, biophile element. The isotopic fractionation of K is relatively small during magmatic processes such as partial melting and fractional crystallization, whereas during low-temperature and biological processes fractionation is considerably larger. This resolvable fractionation has made K isotopes promising tracers for a variety of Earth and environmental processes, including chemical weathering, low-temperature alteration of igneous rocks, reverse weathering, and the recycling of sediments into the mantle during subduction. Sorption and interactions of aqueous K with different clay minerals during cation exchange and clay formation are likely to be of fundamental significance in generating much of the K isotope variability seen in samples from the Earth surface and samples carrying recycled surface materials from the deep Earth. The magnitude of this fractionation is process- and mineral-dependent. Comprehensive quantification of pertinent K isotope fractionation factors is currently lacking and urgently needed. Significant fractionation during biological activities, such as plant uptake, demonstrates the potential utility of K isotopes in the study of the nutrient cycle and its relation to the climate and various ecosystems, enabling new and largely unexplored avenues for future research. Of significant importance to the cosmochemistry community, K is a moderately volatile element with large variations in K/U ratio observed among chondrites and planetary materials. As this indicates different degrees of volatile depletion, it has become a fundamental chemical signature of both chondritic and planetary bodies. This volatile depletion has been attributed to various processes such as solar nebula condensation, mixing of volatile-rich and -poor reservoirs, planetary accretional volatilization via impacts, and/or magma ocean degassing. While K isotopes have the potential to distinguish these different processes, the current results are still highly debated. A good correlation between the K isotope compositions of four differentiated bodies (Earth, Mars, Moon, and Vesta) and their masses suggests a ubiquitous volatile depletion mechanism during the formation of the terrestrial planets. It is still unknown whether any of the K isotopic variation among chondrites and differentiated bodies can be attributed to inherited signatures of mass-independent isotopic anomalies.

Abstract
Potassium isotopic analysis is arousing increasing interest, not only in geochemistry, but also in biomedicine. However, real-life applications are still hindered by the lack of robustness of the methods used. In this work, a novel and robust method for high-precision K isotopic analysis of geological and biological samples was developed, based on the use of a multicollector ICP-mass spectrometer providing a mass resolving power of 15,000 (extra-high resolution mode, XHR). After evaluation of different measurement conditions, i.e., hot vs cold plasma conditions, standard-type vs jet-type sampling cone, and high resolution (HR) vs XHR, a combination of hot plasma conditions, use of the high-transmission jet-type sampling cone, and the XHR mode allowed for high-precision and interference-free K isotopic analysis. Potassium signal monitoring was performed in the ArH+ interference-free 0.006-0.007 amu wide peak shoulder using the XHR mode. The within-run, short-term external, and long-term external precisions for the δ41K value were 0.02‰ (2se, N = 50), 0.03‰ (2SD, N = 7), and 0.06‰ (2SD, N = 163), respectively. A two-stage chromatographic procedure was developed for the isolation of K from both geological and biological samples, and potential matrix effects affecting the K isotope ratio were systematically evaluated. The method was first applied to geological reference materials (RMs) for validation purposes, and the K isotope ratio results were in good agreement with those previously reported. Subsequently, a series of biological RMs, including serum, whole blood, cerebrospinal fluid, bovine muscle, and lobster hepatopancreas, were characterized for their K isotopic composition.

Strategies to overcome interferences in elemental and isotopic geochemical analysis by quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry: A critical evaluation of the recent developments. RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY : RCM 2021; 35:e9065.

Abstract
Quadrupole Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) instruments were introduced into geochemical and mineral exploration laboratories nearly four decades ago, providing a technique that could meet their longstanding requirement for the precise and accurate determination of several groups of trace elements and isotopes in geological materials such as rocks, minerals, ores, soils, sediments, and natural water samples. Despite its popularity among geochemists, the technique suffered from spectral and non-spectral interferences some of which seriously affected the quality of the data generated. These interferences have also had a significant impact on the ability of ICP-MS systems to achieve low detection limits. Over the last three decades, technical advances such as the development of high-resolution (HR)-ICP-MS, cool plasma, collision/reaction cell technology (CCT), dynamic reaction cell (DRC) technology, collision reaction interface (CRI), kinetic energy discrimination (KED), tandem mass spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS)/triple quadrupole ICP-MS, and multi-quadrupole ICP-MS have been introduced to eliminate/minimize many of these interferences, with each technique having its strengths and limitations. These technologies have extended the range of elements that can be measured accurately not only in geological materials, but also in several other matrices, with lower detection limits than before. In addition, other methods such as internal standardization, isotope-dilution, standard addition and matrix-matching calibrations have contributed to improving the quality of the data. This paper provides a review of these new developments from the geochemical analysis point of view.

Abstract
The crystalline phase of layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) directly determines their material property. The most thermodynamically stable phase structures in TMDs are the semiconducting 2H and metastable metallic 1T phases. To overcome the low phase purity and instability of 1T-TMDs, which limits the utilization of their intrinsic properties, various synthesis strategies for 1T-TMDs have been proposed in phase-engineering studies. Herein, a facile and scalable synthesis of 1T-phase molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) via the molten-metal-assisted intercalation (MMI) approach is introduced, which exploits the capillary action of molten potassium and the difference between the electron affinity of MoS2 and the ionization potential of potassium. Highly reactive molten potassium metal can readily intercalate into the MoS2 interlayers, inducing an efficient phase transition from the 2H to 1T crystal structure. The ionic bonding between the intercalated potassium and sulfur lowers the energy barrier of the 1T-phase transition, enhancing the phase stability of the 1T crystals. Owing to the high purity and stability of the 1T phase, the electrocatalytic performance for the hydrogen evolution reaction is significantly higher in 1T-MoS2 (MMI) than in 2H-MoS2 and even in 1T-MoS2 synthesized using n-butyllithium.

Abstract
Carbon isotope ratios ((12)C/(13)C) are measured for aqueous solutions of tryptophan, myoglobin, and beta-cyclodextrin using C(+) ions from an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and a prototype twin quadrupole mass spectrometer (MS). (13)C/(12)C ratios can be determined with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of approximately 1%. This precision is close to the limiting value predicted by counting statistics (1.16%). Spectral interference on (13)C(+), presumably from (12)C(1)H(+), comes from the incomplete dissociation of myoglobin and/or beta-cyclodextrin, but not tryptophan. Decreasing the aerosol gas flow rate slightly from that which yields maximum signal eliminates this (12)C(1)H(+) interference. The count rate of the minor isotope ((13)C(+)) can be artificially enhanced by increasing the voltage of the (13)C(+) detector, and/or by shifting the ion beam splitter offset from the central axis. Instrumental modifications to the MS that improve the sensitivity are also described.

Abstract
A sensitive method for the simultaneous determination of (7)Li, (27)Al and (56)Fe by cold plasma ICP-MS was developed and validated. Experimental design was used to investigate the effects of torch position, torch power, lens 2 voltage, and coolant flow. Regression models and desirability functions were applied to find the experimental conditions providing the highest global sensitivity in a multi-elemental analysis. Validation was performed in terms of limits of detection (LOD), limits of quantitation (LOQ), linearity and precision. LODs were 1.4 and 159 ng L(-1) for (7)Li and (56)Fe, respectively; the highest LOD found being that for (27)Al (425 ng L(-1)). Linear ranges of 5 orders of magnitude for Li and 3 orders for Fe were statistically verified for each compound. Precision was evaluated by testing two concentration levels, and good results in terms of both intra-day repeatability and intermediate precision were obtained. RSD values lower than 4.8% at the lowest concentration level were calculated for intra-day repeatability. Commercially available soft drinks and alcoholic beverages contained in different packaging materials (TetraPack, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), commercial cans and glass) were analysed, and all the analytes were detected and quantitated.

Abstract
The single bead FTIR method has been used in quantitative analyses of solid-phase organic synthesis (SPOS) such as the determination of reaction kinetics and conversion yield. These studies rely on data analysis methods to extract quantitative information from IR spectra. However, the IR spectrum of a solid-phase sample contains vibrational bands from the starting material, product, and the polymer support itself. The coexistence of multiple chemical components causes severe spectral overlaps and sometimes makes quantitative analysis extremely difficult. In some cases, it is impossible to extract qualitative and quantitative information from overlapped IR spectra. In this paper, we use partial least squares (PLS), a chemometrics method, to achieve qualitative and quantitative analysis of samples that generate severely overlapped IR spectra. The primary loading factor obtained from a PLS calculation only displays those spectral features that have undergone changes during a SPOS reaction. Disappearing and emerging organic functional groups generate negative and positive signals, respectively, in the primary loading factor, thus allowing qualitative analysis of the reaction with improved precision. The scores of the primary loading factors of spectra taken at various times during a reaction provide quantitative information allowing the study of the reaction kinetics directly on solid support. On the basis of the analysis of three diverse SPOS reactions, the PLS method has demonstrated the unique capability of extracting quantitative and qualitative information from the overlapped IR spectra. It is a powerful data analysis tool for the monitoring of SPOS reactions in combinatorial chemistry.

Abstract
Electrons are added from a heated filament at the base of the skimmer to reduce the space charge repulsion in the ion beam. This technique improves the analyte sensitivity moderately and also minimizes the matrix effects caused by other elements in the sample significantly. The suppression of signal for even the most troublesome combination of light analyte and heavy matrix elements can be attenuated from 90 to 99% to only 2-10% for 2 mM matrix solutions with an ultrasonic nebulizer. The supplemental electron current can be adjusted to "titrate" out the matrix effects as desired.

Abstract
In conventional inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry devices, the sampler and skimmer are grounded. In this work, modest DC voltages (+ 10 to + 50 Vl are applied to either (or both) sampler and skimmer. Alternatively, the skimmer is biased, and the sampler is merely left floating. The latter arrangement improves sensitivity for Co(+) by sixfold, provides nearly the same molar sensitivity for CO(+), Rh(+), and Ho(+), and extends the upper end of the linear dynamic range to approximately 100 ppm. These changes to the interface do not affect the background perceptibly. The relationship between applied potential and the potential actually measured on the sampler and skimmer is also discussed.

Abstract
A simple variation in sample preparation and introduction allows the measurement of chlorine isotope ratios by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP/MS). Dissolution of the sample in D2O rather than H2O attenuates the major polyatomic ion (36)ArH(+) and frees m/z 37 for determination of (37)Cl(+). The isotope ratio (35)Cl/(37)Cl in a 50 mg/L solution of Cl as LiCl is determined with a relative standard deviation of 0.21%. Sample memory is low, as the (35)Cl signal decays to less than 1% of its original value after ∼2 min of cleanout with D2O . The detection limit for Cl using this procedure is approximately 20 μg/L.
