Abstract

A series of cobalt-doped LaMnO3 (LaCo1−xMnxO3, x = 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 1.0) perovskite electrode material were synthesized by sol–gel method and applied in catalytic oxidation for glycerol. The electrochemical tests showed that LaCo1−xMnxO3 (x = 0.4, 0.5, 0.6) exhibited more excellent electrochemical properties than undoped LaMnO3. Among which, LaCo0.4Mn0.6O3 showed the smallest onset potiential (~ 0.8 V), lowest Tafel slope (215.3 mV dec−1), and Rct value (39.07 kΩ), and its stability was even better than commercial Pt/C (20 wt%-SA). The improved electrochemical performance of LaCo1−xMnxO3 is attributed to the uneven distribution of oxygen in LaMnO3 structure caused by Co doping.
