Synthesis of nano-porous carbon and nitrogen doped carbon dots from an anionic MOF: a trace cobalt metal residue in carbon dots promotes electrocatalytic ORR activity

Synthesis of nanoporous carbon (NPC-1) and N-doped C dots (NCD-1) has been reported from an anionic MOF. Co doping in NCD-1 enhances electrocatalytic ORR activity.
