In this work, a series of La1-xCaxMnO3 perovskite nanoparticles were prepared through a sol-gel method and investigated as catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The XRD, SEM and TEM characterization demonstrated high crystallinity of the synthesized particles having diameters of about 40 nm. The crystal structure was determined by Rietveld refinement, indicating variation of the lattice parameters with the amount of substituted Ca. The electrocatalytic properties of the samples were studied using rotating-disk and rotating ring-disk electrode techniques in KOH aqueous solution. Investigations on the composition-performance relationship of La1-xCaxMnO3 perovskites revealed that mixed Mn valence and medium Mn-O bond length favored the ORR electrocatalysis. Among the La1-xCaxMnO3 series, La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 exhibited outstanding ORR activity, enabled an apparent 4-electron pathway and showed superior durability compared to the benchmark carbon-supported Pt nanoparticles. Furthermore, metal-air cells assembled with La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 could deliver high charge and discharge capacity with flat plateaus. The considerable catalytic performances of La1-xCaxMnO3 nanoparticles indicate their promising application as low-cost and high-abundance catalysts in alkaline fuel cells and metal-air batteries.
