The investigation of electrochemical properties of active layers containing 5,15-bis(pyrid-3-yl)-3,7,13,17-tetramethyl-2,8,12,18-tetraethylporphine, [5,15-bis(pyrid-3-yl)-3,7,13,17-tetramethyl-2,8,12, 18-tetraethylporphinato]cobalt(II), bispyridine[5,15-bis(pyrid-3-yl)-3,7,13,17-tetramethyl-2,8,12,18-tetraethylporphinato]cobalt(III), [5,15-bis(pyrid-4-yl)-3,7,13,17-tetramethyl-2,8,12,18-tetraethylporphinato]cobalt(II) and bispyridine[5,15-bis(pyrid-4-yl)-3,7,13,17-tetramethyl-2,8,12,18-tetraethylporphinato]cobalt(III) in 0.1 M KOH aqueous solution has been carried out by cyclic voltammetry. The potential ranges of redox processes related to the transformation of the porphyrin macrocycle, pyridyl substituents and central metal have been established. The electrochemical parameters of oxygen electroreduction reaction (the half-wave potential — E[Formula: see text](O[Formula: see text]), the maximum potential — E[Formula: see text](O[Formula: see text]), the current density — j, the activation energy — Eact) have been determined. It was shown that all porphyrins exhibit the catalytic activity. The electroreduction process of oxygen on electrode with the porphyrin-ligand occurs via 2-electron mechanism to give hydrogen peroxide ion HO2-, and on ones with the cobalt porphyrins — via parallel-sequential pathway including 2-electron and 4-electron processes to give HO2-, OH-. The presence of pyridine axial ligands in Co-complexes leads to a significant increase of the electrocatalytic activity in molecular oxygen reduction reaction.

In this work, we systematically followed the growth of MnOx nanostructures on trimesic acid (TMA)/benzoic acid (BA) functionalised nitrogen doped graphene (NG) and studied their electrocatalytic activity towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).
