Carbon quantum dots as a fungicide and its applications in wood
2025 - IRG/WP 25-20754
In this work, we synthesised nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (CQDs) via a microwave assisted method. CQDs with proper structure showed excellent anti-fungal effects against both brown (Postia placenta, Pp) and white rot decay fungi (Trametes versicolor, Tv) on wood. The underlying anti-fungal mechanisms of CQDs on wood were further elucidated. We found that positively charged nano-sized CQDs pr...

Effect of Deep Eutectic Solvent Pretreatment on Properties of Densified Wood
2025 - IRG/WP 25-30824
Densified wood is preferable for structural applications because of its excellent mechanical properties and sustainability, but the fixation of its compression deformation and the prevention of water-induced mechanical deterioration remain challenging. Herein, an eco-friendly and highly efficient method was designed for producing dimensionally-stable densified wood, including deep eutectic solvent...
