Popis: Refractory black carbon (rBC) aerosols emitted from incomplete combustion are important climate forcers. Understanding the chemical characteristics and evolution of rBC-related components is particularly crucial to assess rBC environmental impacts. Here, we explored the chemical components of rBC in Shenzhen, China, using a soot-particle aerosol mass spectrometer (SP-AMS). The observations showed that the rBC coating was mainly composed of secondary aerosols with an average mass contribution of 84.7 %. Among them, secondary organic coating occupied ∼57.7 % of the total coating mass. Exploration of the relationship between secondary organic aerosol (SOA) coating and Ox (=NO
