Urbanization has driven the demand for fossil fuels, however, its overly exploited resource
has caused severe damage on environmental pollution. Biorefining using abundant …

Carbon dots (CDs), a new type of carbon‐based fluorescent nanomaterial, have attracted
widespread attention because of their numerous excellent properties. Lignocellulosic …

Banana peel is a common solid biowaste. This paper reports a sustainable synthesis of
carbon quantum dots (CQDs) from banana peel waste by a simple hydrothermal method …

In this study, yellow emissive lignin-based carbon dots (Y-CDs) were successfully prepared
through a synergistic approach to adjust its surface and carbon core states. The lignin was …

Carbon dots (CDs) are a relatively new type of fluorescent carbon material with excellent
performance and widespread application. As the most readily available and widely …

The complex interaction of lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose in the hydrothermal
degradation progress of lignocellulose, has led to uncertainty in the hydrothermal synthesis …

Green and sustainable carbon quantum dots from lignocellulosic biomass (LB-CQDs) have
been widely used in various fields. However, the recalcitrant nature of lignocellulose leads …
