燃料电池和金属空气电池受到了广泛的关注。在电池阴极即空气电极上发生的氧气还原反应很大程度上制约着整个电池的性能[1]。Pt基催化剂是氧还原的高效 催化剂,然而较高的成本制约了其在电池领域中的应用,因此有必要发展一种新型的成本较低,制备过程简单,催化性能好的催化剂。我们采用水热方法合成了一系 列银钼氧化物催化剂，对氧还原表现出较好的催化活性。通过旋转圆盘电极测试，发现在银钼催化剂上主要发生的是四电子转移反应。与Pt/C催化剂相比，银钼 催化剂在碱性电解质中表现出较好的稳定性。

The electroreduction of oxygen was firstly studied on Ag/Co₃O₄–C in alkaline media prepared by depositing Ag on Co₃O₄ modified carbon (Co₃O₄–C). The Ag/Co₃O₄–C composite not only displayed relatively large electrochemical active surface area (ESA), high catalytic activity towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), but also exhibited good methanol tolerance and stability in alkaline media. Ag/Co₃O₄–C could be a valuable catalyst for ORR and be applied to alkaline fuel cells and metal–air batteries.

The electroreduction of oxygen of MnO_x-Co₃O₄/C was firstly studied in alkaline media. The MnO_x-Co₃O₄/C showed better electrocatalytic activity towards ORR than MnO_x/C and Co₃O₄/C. Compared to Pt/C, MnO_x-Co₃O₄/C showed better methanol tolerance and durability in alkaline solution. Thus, the MnO_x-Co₃O₄/C catalyst had potential for applications in metaleair batteries and alkaline fuel cells.
