Introducing ionic mediators to construct peak-splitting manganese oxide structures for efficient oxygen reduction reactions

Manganese oxides have received extensive attention in Oxygen Reduction Reaction(ORR)research.How-ever,the poor electrical conductivity and oxygen adsorption capacity of manganese oxides limit their development,so it is necessary to prepare catalysts with highly active surfaces.We propose a method to introduce an ionically conductive medium and induce structural distortion via thermodynamics,re-sulting in novel peak-splitting highly active structures for enhanced oxygen reduction activity.With the aid of refined structural analysis,High-angle annular dark-field(HAADF-STEM)imaging,and theoretical calculations,it is elucidated that this peak-splitting structure results from thermodynamically induced structural distortions and atomic displacements.The introduction of the ionically conductive medium promotes the formation of Ag-O-Mn conductive bond bridges,which regulate the energy level matching of manganese oxides and oxygen intermediates.The thermodynamically induced structural distortion ex-poses new atomic planes in the material,and the creation of this highly active surface is accompanied by a redistribution of surface charges,which modulates the adsorption of manganese active sites with oxy-gen intermediates and greatly enhances the oxygen reduction activity.Specifically,this Ag-OMS-2 with a novel split structure exhibits excellent activity at 0.836 V,superior to Pt/C kinetics and good stability.The preparation of such highly active structures is instructive for the development of manganese oxides.
