Abstract
En 中文
Biomass-based fluorescent materials are an alternative to plastic-based materials for their multifunctional applications. Lignin, an inexpensive and easily available raw material, demonstrates outstanding environmentresponsive properties such as pH, metal ions, dyes sensing, bioimaging and so on. To date, only a little work has been reported on the synthesis of lignin-based fluorescent materials. In this review report, synthetic approaches and light-responsive applications of lignin-based fluorescent carbon dots and other materials are summarized. The results reveal that lignin-based fluorescent carbon dots are prepared by hydrothermal method, exhibit small size <10 nm, reveal significant quantum yield, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, photostability and display substantial tunable emission and can be efficiently employed for sensing, bioimaging and energy storage applications. Finally, the forthcoming challenges, investigations, and options open for the chemical and/or physical modification of lignin into fluorescent materials for future applications are well-addressed. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive review report on lignin-based fluorescent materials and their lightresponsive applications. In addition, this review will attract remarkable consideration and thrust for the researchers and biochemical technologists working with the preparation of lignin-based fluorescent materials for broad applications.
