The ratiometric fluorescence technique is of great interest due to its visualization characteristics. The construction of a reliable fluorescent ratiometric nanoprobe for high-sensitivity visual quantification is highly sought after but it is limited by poor stability and controllability. Herein, we report a robust dual-emissive quantum dot nanohybrid with precise color tunability and demonstrate its potential as a two-signal-change ratiometric probe for visual detection. A novel assembly strategy was developed for spatially implanting hydrophobic green and red quantum dots (QDs) into a silica scaffold to form a dual-emissive hierarchical fluorescent silica nanohybrid. The fluorescence intensity ratio and color of the nanohybrid were precisely tailored by altering the amounts of green and red QDs. Particularly, after the alkylsilane-mediated phase transfer and exterior silica shell growth, the nanohybrid exhibited the well-preserved fluorescence features of the original QDs and robust optical/colloid stability. An inner filter-based ratiometric nanoprobe for the visual determination of melamine was ultimately devised by combining the spectra-overlapped two-colored fluorescent nanohybrid with analyte-specific gold nanoparticles. Furthermore, based on the reversible fluorescence signal changes in two-colored QDs induced by melamine, a logic gate strategy for melamine monitoring was constructed. The newly developed fluorescent ratiometric nanoprobe shows great prospects for the visual and quantitative determination of analytes in a complex biological matrix.

Massive oily wastewater discharged from industrial production and human daily life have been an urgent environmental and ecological challenge. Superhydrophobic materials have attracted tremendous attention due to their unique properties and potential applications in the treatment of wastewater. In this study, a novel superhydrophobic/superoleophilic composite melamine sponge modified with dual silanized SiO 2 microspheres was fabricated simply by a two-step sol–gel method using vinyltriethoxysilane and hexadecyltrimethoxysilane as functional agent, which exhibited a water contact angle of 153.2° and a water sliding contact angle of 4.8°. Furthermore, the composite sponge showed the excellent oil adsorption performance and the compressive elasticity reaching up to 130 g·g −1 of dichloromethane and 33.1 kPa of compressive stress. It was worth noting that the composite sponge presented the excellent separation efficiency (up to 99.5%) in the processes of continuous oil/water separation. The robust superhydrophobic composite melamine sponge provided the possibility with the practical application for oil–water separation.

A low-cost and environmental-friendly sodium alginate-melamine@zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (SA-ME@ZIF-67) adsorbent was fabricated by chemical grafting and in situ growth for the removal of lead ions in wastewater. Firstly, melamine (ME) was grafted onto sodium alginate (SA) by amide reaction, and then SA-ME was dropped into a solution of calcium chloride to form hydrogel bead, and ZIF-67 was grown on the SA-ME hydrogel bead by the in situ growth method. The SA-ME@ZIF-67 adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The SA-ME@ZIF-67 adsorbent was used to effectively adsorb Pb(II) from aqueous solutions. The initial concentrations of lead ions, adsorbent dose, initial pH of lead ion solution, temperature, and adsorption time for the material were optimized. The adsorption isotherms and kinetics fitted to Langmuir isotherm model ( R 2 = 0.9281, 0.9420, and 0.9623 at the temperatures of 288.15 K, 298.15 K, and 308.15 K, respectively) and pseudo-second-order kinetic model ( R 2 = 0.9901) respectively. According to the Langmuir model at 308.15 K, the maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent for Pb(II) was 634.99 mg/g. The recycling application of the adsorbent was possible as it was easily collected and reused after five adsorption-regeneration cycles. In addition, the Pb(II) in real wastewater samples has been efficiently removed using the fabricated hydrogel. The results showed that the SA-ME@ZIF-67 adsorbent had high adsorption capacity, removal efficiency, and easy recyclability for Pb(II). Graphical abstract

Glyphosate, a widely used herbicide, is prone to residue in the environment that may cause harm to humans. In this work, titanium ion-modified melamine foams (MF/PDA/Ti 4+ ) were prepared as sorbents to achieve rapid extraction of glyphosate by pipette-tip solid-phase extraction (PTSPE). The MF/PDA/Ti 4+ was characterized by SEM, EDS, XPS, and TGA, and its adsorption properties were evaluated by adsorption kinetics and isotherm experiments. The porous structure and good mechanical properties of MF made the MF/PDA/Ti 4+ fill into the pipette-tip easily and could achieve low back pressure. The developed PTSPE method showcased short extraction time (<2 min) for glyphosate and the limits of detection (LOD, 3σ/k) was 4.9 μg/L. It was applied in aqueous samples (tap water, lake water, tea drink, and orange juice) with recoveries ranging from 82.8 % to 108.2 % and the relative standard deviation (RSD, n = 3) was less than 7.7 %, demonstrating broad perspectives on the extraction of glyphosate from the aquatic and terrestrial environment.

Nowadays, functional electronic devices with excellent flexibility and thermal management capability for effective electromagnetic wave absorption are urgently in demand. Herein, a novel and highly flexible silver nanowire (AgNW)/iron nanowire (FeNW) decorated melamine composite foam (AgFe-MF) was prepared via simple dip-coating process. Owing to optimal impedance matching, synergistic dielectric and magnetic losses as well as three-dimensional porous structure, the AgFe-MF with an ultra-low filler content (0.22 vol%) exhibited an outstanding minimum reflection loss of −69.61 dB, and the best effective absorption bandwidth ( EAB ) could reach up to 6.37 GHz. Importantly, the EAB of long-time working AgFe-MF was enhanced to 7.01 GHz after 1000 compress-release cycles under 40 % strain. Besides, it also featured considerate Joule heating capacity and achieved a saturation temperature of over 85.7 ℃ under 2.6 V voltage. The impressive thermal isolation and long-term stability ensured the safety used as portable heater. Therefore, this work will provide a vital slight for fabricating smart wearable electronic devices with integrated anti-electromagnetic radiation and personalized thermal management performances towards potential thermal and health threats.

The appropriate multi-component strategies and ingenious microstructure design remain challenging for the development of multifunctional and high-performance electromagnetic wave absorbing materials. Here, magnetic Ni nanoparticles-anchored reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene hybrids were successfully assembled on melamine foam (MF) via electrostatic self-assembly and hydrazine vapor reduction processes, achieving high-performance electromagnetic wave absorption and multifunctionality . Interestingly, the RGO/MXene/Ni-MF achieves high-performance microwave absorption with a minimum reflection loss value of − 61.3 dB and a maximum width effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 7.04 GHz. The superior electromagnetic wave absorption stems from a 3D dielectric/magnetic network with satisfactory impedance matching, dielectric/magnetic losses, interface/dipole polarization and multiple reflection scattering. Furthermore, the RGO/MXene/Ni-MF also revealed outstanding hydrophobicity , thermal insulation , infrared shielding and incombustibility. This work opens up novel prospects for developing lightweight, multifunctional microwave absorbers for practical applications.

The oil spill and industrial oily wastewater in large quantities has caused severe harm to the environment and human health, which make an urgent requirement to develop low-cost, eco-friendly, stable performance and highly efficient oil/water separation materials. Herein, a superhydrophobic/superlipophilic melamine sponge with excellent hydrophobic stability was successfully fabricated via one-step emulsion polymerization . During polymerization, trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) and polyethylene imine (PEI) form robust microspheres , and polydimethylsilane (PDMS) cross-links to form hydrophobic coating on the original sponge skeleton. The modified sponge could continuously separate various immiscible oil/water mixtures under harsh conditions (including strong acids, strong bases, salts). Even after 10 consecutive cycles, the separation efficiency for toluene and petroleum ether exceeds 99.87%. In addition, the as-prepared sponge exhibited extraordinarily high oil absorption capacities (with a maximum saturated oil absorption of 107.31 g/g for chloroform) and excellent reversible compressibility (up to 100 compression cycles). More importantly, the pore size of modified sponge was adjusted through a simple mechanical compression strategy so that the compressed sponge met the particle size screening requirements to effectively separate the surfactant-stabilized water-in-oil emulsions. Based on the simple preparation protocol, fluorine-free raw materials, and excellent properties, the MS-TMPTA/PEI-PDMS sponge presented here have extremely promising application potential in oil/water separation.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are microporous materials that consist of metal ions or clusters and organic ligands. Their luminescence activities can be improved by functionalization, and the present work describes the synthesis of a luminescence-functionalized MOF in which tris(2,2′-bipyridyl) dichlororuthenium(II) hexahydrate (Ru(bpy) 3 2+ ) was introduced into the MOF. The synthesized RuMOF was then fabricated as an ECL sensor that can be used for the rapid and sensitive detection of melamine in dairy products. The optimum detection conditions were established by single-factor analysis and surface response multivariate optimization. Under optimum conditions, the ECL intensity was proportional to log(melamine) concentration in the range 10 −10 –10 −4 M with a detection limit of about 3.8 × 10 −11 M (signal/noise = 3). In an application to the detection of melamine in milk and infant formula powder, recoveries in the range 98–104% and 95–103%, respectively were obtained from spiked samples. Thus this novel ECL sensor represents a potentially valuable product for the analysis of melamine food samples.

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are emerging as a new and green high-efficient flame retardant. But LDHs aggregate seriously because of their hydrophilicity, which affect deeply the mechanical and flame retardant properties of their composites. For the first time in this paper, microencapsulated LDHs (MCLDHs) with melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resin were prepared by microencapsulation technology to enhance their compatibility and dispersion within epoxy resin (EP). The mechanical and flame retardant performances of EP/MCLDH composite were studied by comparing with EP/LDH composite. Results showed that the water contact angle of MCLDHs increased from 8.9° to 122.1°, which indicated good compatibility. The particle size of MCLDHs decreased sharply, and more than one-third were up to submicron scale, which can be conducive to dispersion. Moreover, the tensile strength and elongation at break of EP/MCLDHs with different flame retardant contents were higher than those of EP/LDHs. And the addition of MCLDHs increased the glass transition temperature (Tg) of EP/MCLDHs, which meant a strong interfacial interaction. Besides, compared with EP/LDHs, the limiting oxygen index values of EP/MCLDHs were higher, and its peak of heat release rate and total heat release decreased by 16.3% and 5.5% respectively. EP/MCLDHs achieved from V-1 to V-0 rate with the increasing content of MCLDHs from 20% to 30%, while LDHs/EP never passed tests. In the process of heating, H 2 O, CO 2 , and NH 3 released from MCLDHs formed gaseous phase, and the remaining dense char layers and oxides produced condensed phase, which played an important role in inhibiting combustion.

Bioaerosol infections containing pathogenic viruses and bacteria have resulted in significant economic losses and posed a serious threat to public health, as evidenced by outbreaks of coronavirus disease and avian influenza. Consequently, the sampling and screening of bioaerosols are crucial for the prevention of bioaerosol-borne diseases. In this study, an ultrasensitive biosensor based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8-melamine foam (ZIF-8-MF) was innovatively developed for the specific capture and in situ detection of bioaerosols. The bacterial bioaerosols were collected by a wet cyclone into phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) buffer at a high collection rate, achieving a satisfactory collection efficiency of ∼80% within 10 min. The target bacteria collected in the PBS buffer were specifically captured and effectively concentrated using immune ZIF-8-MF. The gold@platinum nanozymes (GPNs) were employed to specifically label the captured target bacteria and efficiently amplify the biological signal. And the resulting colorimetric signal was analyzed via a self-developed smartphone application (App). This biosensor demonstrated the capability to detect bioaerosols containing Salmonella typhimurium in the range of 1.6 × 102–1.6 × 105 CFU/m3 within 1.5 h, with a detection limit as low as 100 CFU/m3. Compared with other bioaerosol detection methods, the biosensor offered advantages such as high collection rate, specific capture, efficient concentration, and in situ detection, positioning it as a highly promising and practical tool for the monitoring of bioaerosols containing diverse pathogenic bacteria.

The application of carbon composite materials (CCMs) spans across various fields, and their preparation primarily involves the non-oxygen pyrolysis of non-volatile macromolecular precursors, which poses challenges in tailoring their composition and microstructure. Here, we propose a binary co-pyrolysis approach for the synthesis of CCMs, utilizing small organic molecules such as Phenanthroline (Phen), o -Phenylenediamine ( o PD), and Melamine (Mel) as precursors, along with Co(II) salt as a catalyst. We conducted a thermogravimetric analysis of these three binary systems, aiming to synthesize CCMs at moderate temperatures (330 − 460 °C). Subsequently, we characterized the CCMs in terms of their bulk structure, composition, and surface properties. Finally, we assessed their decontamination performance through catalytic H 2 O 2 degradation of methylene blue and adsorption of Pb(II)/phosphate. The results revealed that Co(II) can promote the preferential formation of thermally stable intermediate polymeric structures and inhibit the direct evaporation of the precursors. The prepared CCM-Phen-Co, CCM- o PD-Co, and CCM-Mel-Co exhibit a lamellar and (N, O, Co)–co-doped amorphous structure. Furthermore, both CCM-Phen-Co and CCM- o PD-Co demonstrate complete removal efficiency for methylene blue at a concentration of 10 mg/L, while the maximum adsorption capacity of CCM- o PD-Co for Pb(II) and CCM-Phen-Co for phosphate are 58.0 mg/g and 13.6 mg/g respectively. The CCMs demonstrate promising efficacy in environmental catalysis and adsorption for decontamination purposes.

Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) are decorated by l -cysteine (L-Cys), and the resultant chiral L-Cys/AuNPs can be used for colorimetric discrimination and spectroscopic detection of the tyrosine (Tyr) enantiomers . Melamine (Mel) can induce the aggregation of the L-Cys/AuNPs through ligand exchange, leading to a distinct color change from wine red to purple. Owing to the same rotatory direction of L-Cys/AuNPs and L-Tyr, the L-Cys/AuNPs exhibit a significantly higher binding affinity toward L-Tyr than D-Tyr, and thus the Mel induced aggregation of the L-Cys/AuNPs is greatly alleviated by the protection from the L-Tyr protective layer. Therefore, the Tyr enantiomers can be simply discriminated by naked eyes. In addition, the absorbance of the aggregated L-Cys/AuNPs at ∼630 nm increases linearly with decreasing concentrations of L-Tyr ranging from 10 nM to 1 mM due to the weakened protection effect from L-Tyr, and thus spectroscopic detection of L-Tyr can also be accomplished by the developed L-Cys/AuNPs with a limit of detection (LOD) of 5.3 nM.
