摘要
Lignin-based graphene quantum dots(L-GQDs)serve as a bridge between renewable biomass resources and functional carbon materials.This review begins with the molecular structure of lignin,exploring various synthesis methods for L-GQDs.The precise elucidation of precursor-structure–property relationships could optimize their performance through the quantitative regulation of lignin unit properties and enable controllable synthesis.We elaborate on the photoluminescence mechanisms and fluorescence modulation strategies of L-GQDs,covering aspects such as structural design,synthesis pathways,and photophysical property optimization.Additionally,the review discusses the application prospects of L-GQDs in biology,energy conversion,and optoelectronics,and highlights the importance of synergistically aligning synthesis strategies with practical on-demand applications.We also propose that research paradigm should focus on in-situ unveiling of nucleation kinetics during L-GQDs formation,photoluminescence mechanism decoding,toxicity regulation to enable green,sustainable and multidisciplinary cutting-edge applications.
