Abstract: | The catalytic activity of manganese oxynitrides in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was investigated in alkaline solutions to clarify the effect of nitrogen on ORR activity. These oxynitrides, having rocksalt-based structures with different nitrogen content, were synthesized by reactions of MnO, Mn2O3, and MnO2 with molten NaNH2 at 240-280 ℃. Anion contents and Mn valence states were determined by combustion analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, and X-ray absorption near edge structure analysis. An increase in nitrogen content in rocksalt- based manganese oxynitrides enhanced the valence of manganese and reinforced the catalytic activity for the ORR in 1 M KOH solution. Nearly single-electron occupancy in antibonding eg states and high covalency in Mn–N bonding would enhance the ORR activity of nitrogen-rich manganese oxynitrides. |
