Covalent coupling between LaMnO₃nanoparticles and carbon black to produce a composite catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was achieved by physical mixing of modified carbon and perovskite-type LaMnO₃ nanoparticles, followed by sintering at different temperatures. Perovskite-type LaMnO₃ nanoparticles were first synthesized via chemical precipitation, and the carbon support (Vulcan XC-72) was modified using graphitization, followed by HNO₃ and ammonia treatments. The morphology and electronic states of the carbon black-LaMnO₃ hybrid catalyst were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The loaded LaMnO₃ particles featured rod-like, three bars-like, and bamboo rod-like structures and were homogeneously dispersed in the carbon matrix that featured a hollow spherical structure. At a sintering temperature of about 300℃, C-O-M (M=La, Mn) bonds formed at the interface between the carbon and LaMnO₃ nanoparticles. Electrochemical measurements in 1 mol/L NaOH showed that the carbon-LaMnO₃ hybrid prepared at a LaMnO₃/GCB mass ratio of 2:3 displayed the highest electrocatalytic activity towards ORR among all the synthesized hybrid catalysts. The electrocatalytic activity was comparable with that obtained by commercial Pt/C catalyst (E-TEK). The average electron transfer number of ORR was ~3.81, and the corresponding yield of the hydrogen peroxide intermediatewas ~9.5%. The remarkably improved electrocatalytic activity towards ORR was likely because of the formation of covalent bonds (C-O-M) between the LaMnO₃ nanoparticles and carbon that can effectively enhance the ORR kinetics. This information is important to understand the physical origin of the electrocatalytic activity of carbon-supported rare earth oxides as catalysts for ORR.
