Abstract
Within the domain of metal-air battery systems, developing the non - precious metal catalysts featuring extraordinary catalytic activity in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is crucial to the air-cathode. This work unveils a sol-gel engineered synthesis of La0.9Ce0.1Co0.1Mn0.9O3 perovskite via the co-doping strategy, with targeted exploration of its electrochemical behavior and underlying mechanism in Zn-air and Mg-air battery systems. The perovskite La0.9Ce0.1Co0.1Mn0.9O3 has a wealth of catalytically active ORR sites and a mesoporous architecture. The diffusion-limited current density of La0.9Ce0.1Co0.1Mn0.9O3 successfully achieves a 1.2-fold enhancement relative to commercial Pt/C with a low H2O2 yield of <0.27 %, underscoring its superior mass transport kinetics. The maximum power densities of La0.9Ce0.1Co0.1Mn0.9O3-based primary/secondary zinc - air batteries are 130 and 83 mW cm−2, respectively, which are on a par with those of Pt/C - based Zinc - air batteries. Whereas, the open - circuit voltage and maximum power density of the primary magnesium - air battery fabricated with 10 wt% KCl as the electrolyte are 1.85 V and 52 mW cm−2, respectively, which exhibit superiority over Pt/C catalysts. In combination with DFT analyses, the La0.9Ce0.1Co0.1Mn0.9O3 perovskite emerges as a prospective ORR catalyst for metal-air battery realization.
