Abstract: MnCo2O4/N-KB catalysts was prepared by hydrolysis-hydrothermal method, in which Mn(Ac)2 and Co(Ac)2 were used as precursors and nitrogen doped conductive carbon Ketjenblack (KB) was used as the carbon source. The microstructure of the MnCo2O4/N-KB catalysts and its catalytic performance for oxide reduction reaction were studied. The results showed that chemical coupling was formed between N-KB and MnCo2O4. It produced synergistic effect and effectively improved the oxygen reduction activity of MnCo2O4/N-KB catalyst. When the mass ratio of MnCo2O4 to N-KB was 1:9, the limiting current density of the reaction was 5.7 mA·cm-2 and the half wave potential was close to 0.81 V. MnCo2O4/N-KB catalyst obtained the best electrocatalytic performance for oxygen reduction. Comparing to the commercial Pt/C catatlyst with a current density of 5.2 mA·cm-2 and a half-wave potential 0.83 V, MnCo2O4/N-KB catalyst had a highly active oxygen reduction with higher ultimate current density and durability under the same capacity condition.
