Fabricate a highly porous, hydrophobic melamine sponge composite modified with ZIF-8 to achieve both efficient oil/water separation and heterogeneous catalytic activity.
Synthesized the MF-ZIF-8 sponge composite through direct multiphase surface growth of ZIF-8 nanocrystals onto the skeletal struts of a melamine sponge.
Characterized the composite for porous structure, surface hydrophobicity, oil/water separation capability, and catalytic efficiency in a Knoevenagel condensation reaction.
Successfully developed a highly porous and hydrophobic melamine-based composite using straightforward ZIF-8 surface deposition.
Demonstrated effective catalytic conversion in a Knoevenagel reaction alongside excellent oil/water separation performance.

Implication

Experimental study demonstrates facile surface growth of ZIF-8 on porous melamine sponge, highlighting effective performance in oil-water separation and Knoevenagel catalysis.

Abstract
