In this study, we synthesized MnFe2O4 solid nanospheres (MSN) calcined at different temperatures (200–500 ◦C)
and MSN-based materials mixed with carbon black, for their use as electrocatalysts in the oxygen reduction
reaction (ORR) in alkaline medium (0.1 M KOH). It was demonstrated that the calcination temperature of MSN
material determined its chemical surface composition and microstructure and it had an important effect on the
electrocatalytic properties for ORR, which in turn was reflected in the performance of MSN/CB-based electrocatalysts.
The study revealed that the presence of Mn species plays a key role in the ORR activity. Among tested,
MSN200/CB and MSN350/CB exhibited the best electrochemical performances together with outstanding
stability.
