Abstract Herein, manganese-based pervoskite oxide was prepared by a sol-gel method combined with secondary sintering technology, and then characterized by means of XRD and EDS to analyze its phase and element composition, electrochemical measurement to investigate its catalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction. XRD and EDS results showed that the phase of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 remained intact after secondary sintering treatment under N2 atmosphere, while was destroyed under NH3 atmosphere. The electrochemical results showed that the catalytic activity of the catalyst prepared under N2 atmosphere for oxygen reduction reaction is hi-gher than that of catalyst prepared under NH3 atmosphere. The onset potential for oxygen reduction and limited current density are 0.028 V (vs. Hg/HgO) and 2.181 mA·cm-2 (2 000 r/mim), respectively.
