Abstract: | Manganese-based materials can catalyze the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), although their activity is known to depend on the crystalline phases and on the concentration of surface-active species. In the present study, we have optimized these two parameters to obtain improved catalysts for ORR. A sol-gel method was used to synthesize LaMnO3-manganese oxides composites with different lanthanum-to-manganese atomic ratios. The synthesized materials, which can be described as La1-xMnOz, were tested under ORR conditions and characterized by several physicochemical techniques such as SEM, XPS, EDX or XRD. It was found that the concentration of lanthanum governs the formation of different crystal phases and determines the crystallite size. Besides, high values of x tend to increase the surface concentration of manganese and therefore to produce more active sites for ORR. Among the materials analysed, La0.6MnOz mixed with carbon black (Vulcan) showed the best electrocatalytic performance. The high tolerance to methanol makes this electrocatalyst a promising alternative to substitute Pt-based materials in alkaline electrolytes. |
