The coating material is considered as the key of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) due to the fact that which has much effect on the selectivity and sensitivity of the analytical method. Herein, the porous hollow carbon nanospheres (PHCNs) were synthesized by selectively removing the interior part of solid inhomogeneous nanospheres with acetone. Using PHCNs as new coating material, a SPME fiber was prepared. To the best of our knowledge, PHCNs was utilized as a SPME fiber coating for the first time. The fiber coating material PHCNs demonstrated excellent thermal stability (> 800 ℃) and long usage lifespan (≥60 times). A headspace SPME (HS-SPME) was established to non-contact extract and enrich polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) prior to gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) analysis. The HS-SPME not only can eliminate non-volatile interferences from matrix, but also be able to protect fiber coating and prolong lifespan of fiber prober. The linearity in the linear range of 0.01–30 ng/mL and limits of detection from 0.003 ng/mL to 0.006 ng/mL were obtained by HS-SPME-GC-FID with PHCNs as fiber coating. The enrichment factors were calculated as 5420–9211 compared with conventional direct introduce analysis. The spiked recoveries of real samples including campus lake water and lime tree honey were obtained from 80.93% to 118.0% with relative standard deviation no higher than 10.6%. The π-π stacking interaction, CH/π interaction, and unique built-in cavities significantly enhance the extraction performance of PHCNs coating fiber to PAHs. This work demonstrated that the PHCNs as fiber coating materials present good application prospects for the extraction and enrichment of trace PAHs from complex matrixes.
