As one of the most widely used azo synthetic dyes, long-term consumption of excessive amaranthcan cause a threat to health. It is very urgent to establish high selective and sensitive method for amaranth detection. Orange fluorescent carbon dots utilizing l -methionine and o-phenylenediamine as raw materials, namely S,N-CDs, were prepared via one-step hydrothermal method . Dialysis, thin layer chromatography and chromatographic column were employed for further purification. The purified dual-mode nanoprobe based on fluorescent and UV absorption was successfully established. For fluorescent, excellent linear ranges of 5–70 μM and 110–195 μM were obtained, and low detection limit was 345.22 nM. For UV absorption, excellent linear ranges of 0–155 μM with low detection limit 12.70 nM. It revealed that inner filter effect and static quenching dominated in amaranth quenching the fluorescent of S,N-CDs. Furthermore, the dual-mode nanoprobe could be efficiently applied to determine amaranth in fruit juice, carbonated drink, and strawberry jam samples. It provided a new insight on the purification of carbon dots and detection of amaranth by dual-mode nanoprobe.

In order to solve the problems of poor mechanical property, non-antibacterial and low flux of calcium alginate (CaAlg) membrane, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) for improving CaAlg membrane in this paper. Meanwhile, the dispersion property of silver nanoparticles and the mechanical property, thermal stability , antibacterial property and filtration efficiency of the composite membrane were explored. The results illustrated CMCS observably strengthened the mechanical property and thermal stability of the composite membrane, and AgNPs endowed the composite membrane with excellent antibacterial property . The flux of the BSA/CMCS/AgNPs/CaAlg composite membrane was raised compared to CaAlg membrane. Finally, the viscose fiber/polyethylene terephthalate fiber (VF-PET) nonwoven fabric was introduced as the support layer to further improve the filtration flux and mechanical property of the composite membrane. VF-PET/BSA/CMCS/AgNPs/CaAlg membrane had a rejection rate of over 99.0 % for dye molecules and <9.0 % for salt ions, while the flux maintained 38.5 L·m −2 ·h −1 . Furthermore, VF-PET/BSA/CMCS/AgNPs/CaAlg membrane also had excellent separation effect on actual dye wastewater. The separation of dye and salt by the membrane mainly depended on the screening mechanism of membrane pore size, rather than adsorption. The composite membrane had an outstanding performance on the separation of dye molecules and inorganic salt ions.

A nanofiber metal–organic framework filter, a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber membrane composite with an iron/2-amino-terephthalic acid-based metal–organic framework (MIL101(Fe)-NH2), was prepared by one-step electrospinning. MIL101(Fe)-NH2was combined into the polymer nanofibers in situ. PAN-MIL101(Fe)-NH2composite nanofiber membranes (NFMs) were prepared from a homogeneous spinning stock containing MIL101(Fe)-NH2prebody fluid and PAN. Crystallization of MIL101(Fe)-NH2and solidification of the polymer occurred simultaneously during electrospinning. The PAN-MIL101(Fe)-NH2composite NFM showed that MIL101(Fe)-NH2was uniformly distributed throughout the nanofiber and was used to adsorb and separate acidic organic ionic dyes from the aqueous solution. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis showed that MIL101(Fe)-NH2crystals were effectively bonded in the PAN nanofiber matrix, and the crystallinity of MIL101(Fe)-NH2crystals remained good, while the distribution was uniform. Owing to the synergistic effect of PAN and the MIL101(Fe)-NH2crystal, the PAN-MIL101(Fe)-NH2composite NFM showed a fast adsorption rate for acidic ionic dyes. This study provides a reference for the rapid separation and purification of organic ionic dyes from wastewater.Keywords:electrospinning;MIL101(Fe)-NH2;functional nanofibers;water treatment membrane

This study proposed gradient zone electrophoresis on a paper-based analysis device (PAD) for sensitive and rapid colorimetric detection of multiple analytes with smartphone imaging. With experimental optimization, simultaneous stacking and separation of color pigments was successfully demonstrated in 60 s as visualized by real-time smartphone photography. Compared with isocratic zone electrophoresis, the separation was obviously improved. Meanwhile, due to the allowance of larger sample introduction volume in the proposed method, the band intensity was also largely enhanced. Practical application of this PAD method was demonstrated by detection of synthetic pigments in commercial beverages. With the enrichment capability of the proposed method, the signal intensity of brilliant blue and amaranth was enhanced by 60 and 180 times, respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) for the common food pigments brilliant blue and amaranth in beverages were 0.35 and 0.14 μg/mL, respectively. Thanks to the simultaneous separation and enrichment functions of this PAD method, not only a detection LOD close to that of a benchtop spectrophotometer can be simply achieved with a smartphone camera, but spectral interference could also be avoided in multi-component analysis.

A novel electrochemical sensor designed to recognize and detect tartrazine (TZ) was constructed based on a molecularly imprinted polydopamine (MIPDA)-coated nanocomposite of platinum cobalt (PtCo) nanoalloy-functionalized graphene oxide (GO). The nanocomposites were characterized and the TZ electrochemical detection performance of the sensor and various reference electrodes was investigated. Interestingly, the synergistic effect of the strong electrocatalytic activity of the PtCo nanoalloy-decorated GO and the high TZ recognition ability of the imprinted cavities of the MIPDA coating resulted in a large and specific response to TZ. Under the optimized conditions, the sensor displayed linear response ranges of 0.003–0.180 and 0.180–3.950 µM, and its detection limit was 1.1 nM (S/N = 3). The electrochemical sensor displayed high anti-interference ability, good stability, and adequate reproducibility, and was successfully used to detect TZ in spiked food samples. Comparison of important indexes of this sensor with those of previous electrochemical sensors for TZ revealed that this sensor showed improved performance. This surface-imprinted sensor provides an ultrasensitive, highly specific, effective, and low-cost method for TZ determination in foodstuffs.Keywords:platinum cobalt nanoalloy;molecularly imprinted polydopamine;graphene oxide;tartrazine;electrochemical sensor

The existing strategies for the determination of synthetic food colorants (FCs) in manufactured foods are highly relied on specialized instruments and skilled personnel which are limited by the high technical threshold and instrumentation cost. Herein, highly branched pipette tips (PTs) were fabricated as a robust all-in-one device for high-performance extraction and visual detection of FCs via handy aspiration and dispensing procedures of pipette controller. The density of extraction groups and inner specific surface area of PTs greatly increased after facile physical coating and subsequent layer-by-layer branching reactions, and the maximum increment in binding capacity of PTs was exceeded 300 times at 8–10 iterations of branching layers, enabling the PTs to be colored just by short-time extraction of FCs and to achieve the instrument-independent visual detection of FCs by virtue of their outstanding PT-SPE performance. As a proof-of-concept, the in-situ PT-based solid phase extraction (PT-SPE) with high recoveries (from 91.73 ± 4.76% to 99.90 ± 4.14%) and semiquantitative naked-eye detection of FCs (Allura red and brilliant blue) in real beverages were experimentally demonstrated to be highly feasible by comparison with classical techniques like spectrophotometry , HPLC , and mass spectrometry.

Graphene-cellulose-polyethyleneimine aerogels (GA-MCC-PEI) were prepared using a simple, environmentally friendly method to remove anionic and cationic dyes in water. Graphene-cellulose hydrogels were prepared using a hydrothermal method and then immersed in a polyethyleneimine aqueous solution for 48 h to obtain graphene-cellulose-polyethyleneimine hydrogels, which were then freeze-dried. The light and porous composite aerogels had a good compression resistance, and the maximum allowable pressure of the graphene-cellulose-polyethyleneimine aerogel with a cellulose content of 43% was 21.76 kPa, which was 827 times its weight. Adsorption of the anionic dye amaranth and the cationic dye methylene blue by the graphene-cellulose-polyethyleneimine aerogel was satisfactorily modeled using the Langmuir isothermal equation, indicating monolayer adsorption. When the cellulose content was 39%, the equilibrium adsorption capacities of the composite aerogel for amaranth and methylene blue were 369.37 mg/g and 237.33 mg/g, respectively. This graphene-cellulose-polyethyleneimine aerogel can be used to remove dye pollutants in water to maintain ecological balance, thus broadening the application space of aerogel materials, that is, as adsorbents in different environments.Keywords:graphene;cellulose;polyethyleneimine;aerogel;adsorbent

The development of membranes for protein purification has stringent requirement of disinfection resistance, low protein adsorption and anti-fouling, without changing protein structure. In this study, hydrophilic titanium dioxide (TiO 2 )/calcium alginate (TiO 2 /CaAlg) hydrogel membranes were prepared by a simple ionic cross-linking method. The effects of the porogenic agent polyethylene glycol (PEG) concentration, the molecular weight of PEG, and the concentration of TiO 2 on the filtration properties were systematically investigated. The TiO 2 /CaAlg membrane exhibited excellent bovine serum albumin (BSA) rejection and anti-fouling properties. The mechanical properties and surface energy of the TiO 2 /CaAlg membrane were significantly improved. The chemical bonding mechanism of TiO 2 and NaAlg was investigated by molecular dynamic simulation. The TiO 2 /CaAlg membrane had good chlorine resistance and could be disinfected or cleaned with sodium hypochlorite. The TiO 2 /CaAlg hydrogel membrane loaded with polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) nanofibers maintained high flux (136.7 L/m 2 h) and high BSA rejection (98.0 %) at 0.1 MPa. The results of circular dichroism and synchronous fluorescence indicated that the secondary structure of BSA was maintained after membrane separation. This study provides one method for the preparation of green and environmentally friendly membrane for protein purification.

Tannic acid (TA) − 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) coating (TA-APTES coating) composed of abundant nanospheres with secondary reaction sites has many distinct advantages for surface modification. Herein, an in-situ growth method is proposed to generate TA-APTES nanospheres on both the outer and inner surface of polypropylene (PP) membrane. Compared with previous reported TA-APTES nano spheres coating just on the outer surface of the membrane (named PP-Su-NPs), TA-APTES nano spheres on both outer and inner surfaces prepared with this method (named PP-En-NPs) exhibits much better functional performance after secondary reactions. As a proof of concept, the TA-APTES nanospheres is functionalized by tannic acid, polyethyleneimine (PEI) and Fe 3+ to carry positive charges for absorbing anionic dyes, and the dye adsorption performance of the PP-En-NPs after the secondary reactions is 7–8 times higher than that of PP-Su-NPs. Interestingly, the functionalized coating can not only absorb anionic dyes, but also cationic dyes, and selective desorption is also realized for this functionalized coating. The possible mechanism is revealed in this study. This study will accelerate the development of the TA-APTES coating, and make it become a powerful tool for membrane modification.

Due to the inherent disorder and fluidity of water, precise machining of water through laser cutting are challenging. Herein we report a strategy that realizes the laser cutting machining of water through constructing hydrophobic silica nanoparticle-encased water pancakes with sub-millimeter depth. Through theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and experimental studies, the developed process of nanoparticle-encased water pancake laser cutting and the parameters that affect cutting accuracy are verified and elucidated. We demonstrate that laser-fabricated water patterns can form diverse self-supporting chips (SSCs) with openness, transparency, breathability, liquid morphology, and liquid flow control properties. Applications of laser-fabricated SSCs to various fields, including chemical synthesis, biochemical sensing, liquid metal manipulation, patterned hydrogel synthesis, and drug screening, are also conceptually demonstrated. This work provides a strategy for precisely machining water using laser cutting, addressing existing laser machining challenges and holding significance for widespread fields involving fluid patterning and flow control in biological, chemical, materials and biomedical research.

Excessive addition of ethyl maltol (EMA) to foods poses potential health risks, highlighting the need for reliable monitoring. Herein, an integrated Fe(III)-driven liquid-phase microextraction (LPME)–spectrophotometry system was developed for selective and high-throughput EMA determination. Fe(III) in the acceptor phase served dual roles: as a chemical trap achieving >90% extraction efficiency and as an in situ chromogenic probe enabling direct detection. This unique design combines membrane-mediated matrix exclusion with coordination-assisted extraction, resulting in enhanced sensitivity and improved resistance to matrix interference. Density functional theory calculations revealed that Fe(III) facilitated the forward extraction by reducing the transmembrane transfer free energy barrier while suppressing back-extraction via weakening EMA–membrane solvent interactions. Under the evaluated conditions, the system offered a broad linear range (7.8–1500 μM, R 2 > 0.999), low detection limit (0.67 μM), and satisfactory selectivity toward structural analogues. Validation in diverse food matrices yielded recoveries of 88–107% with good agreement with HPLC–UV ( R 2 > 0.99). The minimal solvent consumption, high throughput, and favorable greenness further highlight its practical utility. More than an EMA detection method, this work provides a proof-of-concept for the coordination-driven LPME strategy that intrinsically integrates sample preparation with in situ signal generation, offering new insights into the design of a mechanism-driven microextraction system.

The design and preparation of various effective three-dimensional (3D) silver nanostructures is a frontier area of research in the field of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). This paper demonstrates a simple and novel method for the preparation of a substrate, whose surface was covered by a 3D interconnected network of Ag nanostructures, and the resulting network structure surface is free of organic contaminants. The EDS measurements confirm the metallic nature of the formed 3D Ag nanonetwork substrate. Additionally, the influence of experimental parameters on the morphology of the 3D Ag nanonetwork was also investigated, such as reaction time, hydrofluoric acid concentration, silver nitrate concentration and sodium citrate concentration. The 3D Ag nanonetwork has good uniformity. Importantly, the 3D Ag nanonetwork substrate was used to accurately and reliably detect amaranth (AR) and sunset yellow (SY) in beverages, with the lowest detection limit of 3 and 0.1 μg L−1, respectively. Therefore, this substrate is expected to be a promising candidate for SERS detection and offers attractive potential for a wider range of applications.
