Microwave assisted synthesis of Mn₃O₄ nanograins intercalated into reduced graphene oxide layers as cathode material for alternative clean power generation energy device.

ABSTRACT: Mn₃O₄ nanograins incorporated into reduced graphene oxide as a nanocomposite electrocatalyst have been synthesized via one-step, facile, and single-pot microwave-assisted hydrothermal technique. The nanocomposites were employed as cathode material of fuel cells for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The synthesized product was thoroughly studied by using important characterization, such as XRD for the structure analysis and FESEM and TEM analyses to assess the morphological structures of the material. Raman spectra were employed to study the GO, rGO bands and formation of Mn₃O₄@rGO nanocomposite. FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopic analysis were used to verify the effective synthesis of the desired electrocatalyst. The Mn₃O₄@rGO-10%
