Secondary electrospray ionization mechanism diagram. In the early days of SESI, two ionization mechanisms were under debate.: the droplet-vapor interaction model postulates that vapors are adsorbed in the electrospray ionization (ESI) droplets, and then reemitted as the droplet shrinks, just as regular liquid phase analytes are produced in electrospray ionization; on the other hand, the ion ...
Secondary electrospray ionization (SESI) is an spray type, ambient ionization method where charging ions are produced by means of an electrospray. These ions then charge vapor molecules in the gas phase when colliding with them. [53] [54]

Schematic diagram of ion trap mass spectrometer with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source and Paul ion trap. A Paul trap is a type of quadrupole ion trap that uses static direct current (DC) and radio frequency (RF) oscillating electric fields to trap ions. Paul traps are commonly used as components of a mass spectrometer.
Probe electrospray ionization (PESI) is a modified version of conventional electrospray ionization in which the capillary for sample solution transferring is replaced by a solid needle with a sharp tip. [33] Compared with conventional electrospray ionization, high salt tolerance, direct sampling, and low sample consumption are found with PESI.
Reaction is only possible if energetically allowed, i.e. if the proton affinity of R is higher than the proton affinity of H 2 O (691 kJ/mol [3]).As most components of ambient air possess a lower proton affinity than H 2 O (e.g. N 2, O 2, Ar, CO 2, etc.) the H 3 O + ions only react with VOC trace components and the air itself acts as a buffer gas.
Ambient ionization techniques are attractive for many samples for their high tolerance to complex mixtures and for fast testing. EESI has been employed for the rapid characterization of living objects, [ 10 ] native proteins , [ 11 ] and metabolic biomarkers .
[1] [2] In electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), ions are created at atmospheric pressure, but are analyzed at subsequently lower pressures. Ions can be lost while they are shuttled from areas of higher to lower pressure due to the transmission process caused by a phenomenon called joule expansion or “free-jet expansion.”
