Abstract Herein, we present a facile strategy to bring the LDI (laser desorption/ionization) capability onto nanostructured surfaces, which can further be tailored with various surface coatings suitable to individual applications. While the MALDI (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization) method has been a powerful tool to ionize thermally labile molecules such as biological and synthetic polymers, the intrinsic use of excess matrixes causes certain limitations on its applications. To overcome the related issues, matrix-free LDI methods have been demonstrated in recent years; in particular, a variety of nanostructures were exhibited for their LDI capability, most of which are unfortunately too special to be prepared by other laboratories. In this presentation, we present a simple and facile strategy of how to get certain surface nanostructures to achieve the LDI capability by using known techniques of surface chemistry. The strategy is based on the thermal mechanism that would promote intact desorption of thermally labile molecules by laser-induced surface heating. The produced LDI nanostructured surfaces can further be decorated by surface coatings to possess the suitable surface properties for individual applications, such as hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and non-fowling properties. All these can be done by simple and known chemistry. In addition, this strategy is applicable to virtually any nanostructured surfaces. In this work, the strategy is demonstrated on conical AAO (anodized aluminum oxide) templates with respect to LDI of drug molecules with moderate molecular weights of 500 to 1000 Da.
