This review highlights lignin's transformation into carbon quantum dots, suggesting its role in green chemistry and sustainable bioeconomy.

Lignin-derived carbon quantum dots exhibit promising properties for sustainable applications and high carbon content.
The synthesis methods for carbon quantum dots include hydrothermal and solvothermal approaches, yielding fluorescing materials.
Doping with nitrogen and sulfur enhances the optical properties of lignin-derived carbon quantum dots, increasing their functionality.
Despite significant advances, challenges remain in standardizing production methods and understanding the lignin origin's effects on product properties.

Aparício et al. (2025) studied this question.
