Abstract

The invention relates to a carbon-supported spinel material and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) mixing a carbon support and a cobalt salt-containing solution, and then adding ammonium hydroxide to obtain a solution A; (2) adding a manganese salt solution into the solution A obtained in the step (1) to obtain a solution B; and(3) heating and ageing the solution B, and then conducting solvothermal reaction to obtain the manganese-containing cobalt-containing carbon-supported spinel material. By means of the method, effective composition of the carbon support and spinel can be achieved, and meanwhile, surface element distribution and chemical property of spinel nanoparticles in the obtained carbon-supported spinel material are effectively adjusted and controlled, so that oxygen reduction half-wave potential of the carbon-supported spinel material, which is prepared through the method, with evenly-distributed surfacemanganese and cobalt is up to 0.872 V.
