Abstract
Single-photon ionization mass spectrometry (SPI-MS) is an attractive analytical technique for the online detection of volatile organic compounds; however, the low photon flux of the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) lamp commonly used in the SPI ion source and the corresponding low detection sensitivity remain a constraint to its wide field applications. In this study, a new VUV lamp-based SPI ion source was developed. By increasing the discharging volume and optimizing the configuration of the lens and ionizer, the photon flux of the VUV lamp and the sensitivity of the ion source were significantly improved. The VUV lamp output was 2.8 x 1015 photons s-1, which was focused into the small ionization zone, and the ion intensity of gaseous benzene under SPI achieved 1.7 x 104 counts per second per pptv (cps pptv-1). This ion source can also function in photoinduced associative ionization (PAI) mode by introducing gaseous CH2Cl2 to initiate an associative ionization reaction. Because of the high efficiency of the ion source, the amount of doped CH2Cl2 needed for PAI was greatly reduced (~2.5% of that used in previous experiments). PAI exhibited an outstanding protonation effect on monosulfur ethers (CnH2n+1S). The signal intensities of the protonated molecular ions (MH+) were 46-128 times higher than those of the molecular ions (M+) produced by SPI. Since monosulfur ethers generally have lower SPI crosssections than polysulfur ethers (CnH2n+1S2 or CnH2n+1S3), the PAI and SPI modes were selected for the online measurement of a series of mono- and polysulfur ethers, respectively. The obtained detection sensitivity of the mono- and polysulfur ethers reached 476.5 +/- 1.72-2835.1 +/- 99.5 and 47.9 +/- 0.4-105.1 +/- 2.3 counts pptv-1, respectively, in 10 s of sampling time. The corresponding 3 sigma limits of detection (LODs) were 0.12-0.71 and 0.06-0.14 pptv, respectively. This study provides advances in the development of a high-flux VUV lamp and a highly efficient SPI/PAI ion source, as well as an ultrasensitive analytical method for detecting sulfur ethers.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
