Abstract: A series of Mn-N-C catalysts were fabricated by integrating electrospinning technology with subsequent heat treatment at 700°C, 800°C, and 900°C, using manganese acetate (Mn(OAc)2) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as the main raw materials. Under various calcination temperature conditions, all the Mn-N-C catalysts presented a nanowire morphology with a diameter of approximately 300 nm. A series of electrochemical performance tests for Li-O2 batteries were carried out on the Mn-N-C catalysts. The results showed that all the Mn-N-C catalysts demonstrated good oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity. Among them, the Mn-800 catalyst had the lowest overpotential (1.5 V) and superior cycling performance (more than 150 cycles at 1000 mA g−1). This outcome implies that the Mn-800 catalyst holds significant potential in enhancing battery performance and prolonging battery lifespan, offering novel ideas and approaches for developing high-performance Li-O2 batteries.
