In this work, a new sustainable melamine detection method was developed. Biomass-derived carbon dots (CDs) were successfully prepared by ionic liquid (1-Allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, IL) hydrothermal method using agricultural waste corn cob as the carbon source, and combined with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to construct fluorescent probe CDs@IL-AgNPs. The probe was characterized and the formation mechanism of the probe was discussed. The direct detection of HO and the indirect sensitive detection of melamine were realized. The detection limit of melamine was 0.94 μmol/L, which is far lower than the minimum allowable amount of melamine in milk powder (7.95 μmol/L). The high sensitivity and selectivity probe was used to detect melamine in commercial dairy products, and the recovery rate of standard addition was between 94 % and 110 %. This study provides valuable new application ideas for the detection of melamine in dairy products and the low-carbon and environmentally friendly treatment of agricultural waste.

Growing concerns about the health risks of melamine adulteration in food products highlight the urgent need for reliable detection methods. However, the long-term effects of chronic low-level melamine exposure remain inadequately explored. This study introduces THE ONE InstantCare platform, a portable immunoassay analyzer integrating a SpectroChip-based spectral processing unit (SPU) with lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) for sensitive and accurate quantification of melamine in human urine.

Melamine, its analogues, and aromatic amines (AAs) were commonly detected in a previous study of pregnant women in the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Cohort. While these chemicals have identified toxicities, little is known about their influences on fetal development. We measured these chemicals in gestational urine samples in 3 ECHO cohort sites to assess associations with birth outcomes (n = 1,231).

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful optical sensing platform that amplifies the target signals by Raman scattering. Despite SERS enabling a meager detection limit, even at the single-molecule level, SERS also tends to equally enhance unwanted molecules due to the non-specific binding of noise molecules in clinical samples, which complicates its use in complex samples such as bodily fluids, environmental water, or food matrices. To address this, we developed a novel non-fouling biomimetic SERS sensor by self-assembling an anti-adhesive, anti-fouling, and size-selective Lubricin (LUB) coating on gold nanoparticle (AuNP) functionalized glass slide surfaces via a simple drop-casting method.

School of Chemistry, Key Laboratory of Advanced Technologies of Materials (Ministry of Education), Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu, 610031, People's Republic of China.

As modern communication and detection technologies advance at a swift pace, multifunctional electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials with active/positive infrared stealth, hydrophobicity, and electric-thermal conversion ability have received extensive attention. Meeting the aforesaid requirements simultaneously remains a huge challenge. In this research, the melamine foam (MF)/polypyrrole (PPy) nanowire arrays (MF@PPy) were fabricated via one-step electrochemical polymerization.
