However, commercial fungicides usually toxic, posing severe threats human health and the environment, highlighting necessity of developing eco-friendly antifungal agents for cellulosic materials. In this work, we synthesized nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (CQDs) via a microwave-assisted method. CQDs with proper structure demonstrated significant effects against both brown-rot (Postia placenta, Pp) white-decay fungi (Trametes versicolor, Tv) on various The underlying mechanisms materials were further elucidated. We found that positively charged nanosized primarily adhered penetrated into cell membranes. This led metabolism disorder, reduction enzymatic activities, ultimately death, as confirmed by transcriptome analysis. Additionally, generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) under light, causing oxidation dysfunction wall. Furthermore, have ability chelate Fe3+, results inhibition Fenton reaction hindering nonenzymatic cellulose These findings suggest inhibit degradation through integrated mechanisms, potential implications sustainable applications.
