Bifunctional fluorescent carbon nanodots: green synthesis via soy milk and application as metal-free electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction.

We demonstrated a facile and green approach to synthesize bifunctional fluorescent carbon nanodots via soy milk, which not only showed favorable photoluminescent properties, but also exhibited good electrocatalytic activity towards oxygen reduction reaction.
