Melamine

Nanochemistry meets macrostructures: Chinese scientists report the synthesis of a macroscopic aerogel from carbonitride nanomaterials which is an excellent catalyst for the water-splitting reaction under visible-light irradiation. The study adds new opportunities to the material properties of melami more

Melamine in milk powder or methanol in spirits - under certain circumstances, food adulteration can pose a health risk to consumers. The increasing globalisation of the food and feed market in particular calls for reliable strategies allowing for analytical testing of the properties of products. On more

Ammonia is one of the world's most produced chemicals. Due to its high nitrogen content, ammonia is mainly used as a fertilizer or as the base material for the production of other fertilizers, such as urea or fertilizer mixes. Additionally, ammonia is used in industrial applications, for example ref more

Nitrogen enriched (52 wt %) nanoporous polytriazine with high specific surface area up to 850 m2 g-1 is synthesized by an ultrafast (30 min reaction time) microwave assisted route using inexpensive precursors cyanuric chloride and melamine at 400 W. The metal-free highly electron rich material is us more

Ruthenium dissolution is an inevitable issue for anodic electrocatalyst in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). Carbon nitride (C3N4) decoration derived from carbonization of melamine simultaneously promoted PtRu electrocatalyst’s stability and electrocatalytic activity toward concentrated methanol a more

A novel heterogeneous visible light active nanophotocatalyst was produced via modification of a nanocrystalline TiO2 surface with a cobalt(ii) complex of melamine dendrimer under ultrasonic agitation, and was characterized by different techniques such as FT-IR, XPS, EDS, ICP-AES, TGA, DRS, UV-Vis, T more
