Abstract

Photoluminescent materials from woody biomass resources exhibit great potential in a wide ranging of applications. Due to their inherent luminescent properties, woody biomass resources, including cellulose and lignin, can be efficiently converted into sustainable photoluminescent materials. However, to date only a few reviews have focused on this area of endeavor. Motivated by this lack of coverage, using this review we will address these shortcomings and introduce woody biomass resources, including cellulose and lignin, for the preparation of luminescent materials. In the review, we will mainly focus on the mechanisms and tuning strategies for obtaining photoluminescence from woody sources, potential applications, and discuss the future challenges and perspectives.
