For this reason, developing sustainable and economical fabrication methods for GQDs remains one of the most pressing and promising areas of research. In this context, lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) waste is a prime choice for the fabrication of GQDs due to the presence of high carbon and cellulose content as precursor and reducing agents.
