20.500.12556/RUL-176822 Breaking down lignin a macromolecule's path to the nanoscale Lignin, an underutilized by-product of the processing of lignocellulosic biomass, represents a promising opportunity for the development of high-value nanomaterials. Unlike cellulose and hemicellulose, which are widely used in industry, the complex and heterogeneous structure of lignin has hindered its utilization on a large scale. Recent advances in nanotechnology have enabled the transformation of lignin into functional nanomaterials with a wide range of applications. This article explores the latest developments in lignin-based nanomaterials (NanoLGs), which is divided into lignin-based nanomaterials (LBNMs), lignin-derived nanomaterials, and nanohybrid LBNM materials. Each of the mentioned groups has its own attractive features and possible applications that can be competitive with traditional nanomaterials. The main advantages of NanoLGs are sustainability, biocompatibility, tunable functionality, and potential for diverse applications in environmental remediation, energy storage, biomedical devices, and advanced materials. Future research needs to focus on refining synthesis techniques, improving material performance, and integrating sustainability aspects. NanoLGs have the potential to replace fossil-based materials and pave the way for a greener, more sustainable future. lignocellulosic biomass lignin nanolignin carbom quantum dots CQDs graphene nanodiamonds hybrid materials lignocelulozna biomasa lignin nanolignin ogljikove kvantne pike CQDs grafen nanodiamanti hibridni nanomateriali true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-12-11 10:49:01 2025-12-11 10:49:02 2026-03-26 04:21:45 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 17 str. iss. 3, art. e202500283 Vol. 7 Mar. 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 547.458.84:620.3 2699-9412 10.1002/aesr.202500283 260953859 RAZ_Papan_Djanis_Jelena_2026.pdf RAZ_Papan_Djanis_Jelena_2026.pdf 1 1802C80B3524DC20F5093DF9DE430572 47cafdef1ec95744a1b01e9f78a3b8df6f7b293880bea22fb83f70fab8c9556d 264210cf-281a-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=231264 https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aesr.202500283 1 398faa6a-d676-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=223414 Fakulteta za kemijo in kemijsko tehnologijo 0 0 0
