Abstract

A non-noble metal electrocatalyst has been developed for the oxygen reduction reaction. Carbon-supported cobalt molybdenum oxynitride was simply prepared by impregnation followed by thermal ammonolysis. The oxynitride electrocatalytic activity nearly matched that of platinum in 0.1 M KOH solution. The catalyst structure and valence have been characterized using complementary local and bulk probes.
