“…The top-down approach employed macroscopic materials such as coal, graphene, and diverse natural products from various plant parts including leaves, fruits, and stems etc. (Alvand et al 2021 ; Moradi Alvand et al 2019b , 2019a ; Rajabi et al 2020 ) which are decomposed to produce the appropriate Cb-QDs. In contrast, in the bottom-up technique, various types of carbonaceous smaller molecules taken as precursors are chemically modified under suitable reaction conditions to obtain fluorescent Cb-QDs (Xu et al 2020 ).…”

Urbanization and a massive population boom have immensely increased the solid wastes (SWs) generation and are expected to reach 3.40 billion tons by 2050. In many developed and emerging nations, SWs are prevalent in both major and small cities. As a result, in the current context, the reusability of SWs through various applications has taken on added importance. Carbon-based quantum dots (Cb-QDs) and their many variants are synthesized from SWs in a straightforward and practical method. Cb-QDs are a new type of semiconductor that has attracted the interest of researchers due to their wide range of applications, which include everything from energy storage, chemical sensing, to drug delivery. This review is primarily focused on the conversion of SWs into useful materials, which is an essential aspect of waste management for pollution reduction. In this context, the goal of the current review is to investigate the sustainable synthesis routes of carbon quantum dots (CQDs), graphene quantum dots (GQDs), and graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) from various types SWs. The applications of CQDs, GQDs, and GOQDs in the different areas are also been discussed. Finally, the challenges in implementing the existing synthesis methods and future research directions are highlighted. Graphical Abstract

“…Meanwhile, this technique has some bene ts including its rapidity in transferring thermal energy in the substrate and enhancing the rate of the reaction rate. Therefore, in comparison with conventional agitation, this synthetic method is more e cient in energy, selectivity, and time (Sina et al 2020 (Alvand et al 2021), using different plant extracts. To our knowledge, however, there has never been a report on the use of the MAE and SAS extraction procedures for the green synthesis of CuO NPs and the assessment of their biological characteristics.…”

The present study reported a green approach for sonochemical-assisted synthesis (SAS) of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) by using the aqueous extract of the fruit of the Ficus Johannis plant. The aqueous extract was obtained using ultrasonic-assisted extraction (15 min, 45°C) and microwaveassisted extraction (15 min, 450 w). Next, the as-prepared aqueous extracts were used in a plantmediated approach to synthesize CuO NPs. The synthesized CuO NPs have been characterized via different techniques including X-ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), ultraviolet-visible absorption, photoluminescence, and Fourier-transformed infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic techniques. As observed, a broad absorption band around 375 nm clari ed the successful synthesis of CuO NPs. From the SEM analysis, the average particle size of the prepared CuO NPs was estimated below 50 nm. Afterward, the antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antifungal properties of the aqueous plant extracts and the as-prepared CuO NPs were evaluated by different assays. These included the release of protein, nucleic acids, disk diffusion method, also minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and time-killing assays.
