Spinel oxides, with the formula AB₂O₄ (A and B represent metal ions) perform superior electrocatalytic characteristic when A and B are transition metals like Co, Fe, Mn, etc. Abundant researches have been attached to the structure designments while methods are often energy-intensive and inefficient. Here, we devised a universal strategy to achieve rapid synthesis of nanocrystalline spinel materials with multiple components (Co₃O₄, Mn₃O₄, CoMn₂O₄ and CoFe₂O₄ are as examples), where phase formation is within 15 s. Under the Joule-heating shock, a crack-break process of microcosmic phase transformation is observed by in-situ transmission electron microscopy. The half-wave potential values of Co₃O₄—JH, Mn₃O₄—JH, CoMn₂O₄—JH and CoFe₂O₄—JH in the electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction were 0.77, 0.78, 0.79 and 0.76, respectively. This suggests that the Joule heating is a fast and efficient method for the preparation of spinel oxide electrocatalysts.
