A non-precious metal catalyst CoMe/C for the oxygen reduction reaction is prepared by heat-treating a mechanical mixture of carbon black,melamine and cobalt chloride at 600 under nitrogen atmosphere for 2 h. The catalytic activity of CoMe/C is characterized by the electrochemical linear swee_p voltammetry technique. The onset reduction potential of the catalyst is 0.55 V (vs. SCE) at a scanning rate of 5 mV/s in 0.5 mol/L H₂SO₄ solution. The formation of the ORR activity sites of CoMe/C is facilitated by metallic β-cobalt.
