Résumé
This paper reports the development of a stationary phase thickness gradient gas chromatography (GC) column that enables analyte peak focusing and improves separation resolution. Theoretical analysis and simulation demonstrate focusing via a positive thickness gradient, i.e., the stationary phase thickness increases along the column. This effect was experimentally verified by coating a 5 m long capillary column with a film thickness varying from 34 nm at the column inlet to 241 nm at the column outlet. The column was analyzed in forward (thin to thick) and backward (thick to thin) modes and compared to a uniform thickness column with a thickness of 131 nm, using alkanes ranging from C
