During the past decades, research has been performed to enhance selectivity in CE by introducing different types of additives into the electrolyte. Research concerning this has taken many directions, especially during the last 5 years. A promising technique, which benefits from no packing or frits, is to use nanoparticles as the pseudostationary phase (PSP) in CEC. IPSPs have the advantage of introducing a novel interaction phase for every analysis, which greatly simplify column exchange and circumvent contamination inherited from complex mixtures, e.g., biological samples. The field of nanoparticle-based PSPs used in CEC is covered in this review. The term CEC will be used consequently throughout this review, although some authors used the term EKC to categorize their work. Important requirements for the nanoparticles used and possible reasons for band broadening will be discussed. Applications with silica nanoparticles, polymer nanoparticles, molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, dendrimers, and polymeric surfactants as PSP will also be discussed.
