Production of biomaterials from lignocellulosic biomass waste is prime importance for diverse applications. However, the use harsh chemicals, extreme conditions, and tedious processes to convert it into useful materials are major bottlenecks its application. Herein, leftover corn-cob (CB) was converted functional carbonaceous material via a solvothermal process using water in deep eutectic solvents (DESs) by employing two DESs namely, choline chloride-glycerol (ChCl-Gly) ChCl-ethylene glycol (ChCl-EG). The synthesized CB-based carbon materials, CB-ChCl-Gly CB-ChCl-EG, were characterized verify incorporated morphological variations. obtained results showed that rich oxygen functionality with more porous, globular surface structure. Further, detailed analysis feasibility as biocompatible carriers cytochrome-c (Cyt-c) evaluated. peroxidase-like activity remarkably enhanced up 1.5-fold compared native enzyme. biocompatibility these validated Michaelis–Menten equation. Besides this, time- temperature-dependent studies Cyt-c after immobilization biomass-based demonstrated preservation structural integrity well improved enzymatic activity. Various biophysical techniques secondary tertiary structures enzymes immobilization. micrograph transmission electron microscopy (TEM) hydrodynamic size (dH) zeta potential values measured dynamic light scattering (DLS) successful protein on materials. Interestingly, structure maintained at higher temperatures presence both CB-ChCl-EG Overall, this study elucidates sustainable source ecofriendly method preparation displays beneficial influence stability Cyt-c. Remarkably, proving be protein-friendly host, CB will helpful long-term packing, which may provide foundation imaging modalities biomolecules industrial
