... The most common form of detector used in series with chromatography is mass spectrometry. 11,12 Recent reviews 13,14 highlight that there has been a rapid evolution of technology used to detect and analyse explosives with a growing emphasis on detecting minuscule amounts (nanograms) of explosives residues. This is crucial for pre-blast investigations, linking suspects to explosive materials, and uncovering clandestine activities. ...

... Recent studies categorize HMEs based on their precursor materials, including peroxide-based explosives (e.g., triacetone triperoxide, TATP), nitrate-based explosives (e.g., ammonium nitrate [AN] fuel oil, ANFO) and chlorate-based explosives (e.g., potassium chlorate mixtures). Each category exhibits distinct thermal stability, decomposition behaviour and structural properties, complicating forensic investigations [4][5][6][7]. ...
