By physical-chemical characterization it was observed that nanoparticles of the LaMnO3±δ perovskite phase are well dispersed in the carbon matrix and are primarily located in the mesopores and small macropores of the Vulcan carbon. By electrochemical methods it was concluded that the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity improvement of ISAC composites relative to perovskite/carbon composites prepared by mixing is due to the ISAC synthesis route and to the presence of carbon in the composites, which act by reducing the particle size of the perovskite, and decreasing their agglomeration degree. These result in the higher dispersion of perovskite particles and the ensuing increase of the number of catalytically active sites. Results of temperature programmed reduction reaction, X-ray photoelectron and electron energy loss spectroscopies suggest that perovskite particles in ISAC composites have lower oxygen stoichiometry compared to the unsupported LaMnO3 and are reduced by H2 at lower temperatures.Show less >
