Rate constants and reactant diffusion coefficients for the Ru(hfac)30/– electrode reaction have been measured at 25°C as functions of pressure (0-200 MPa) in acetone, acetonitrile, methanol, and propylene carbonate. In sharp contrast to the negative volumes of activation ΔVex‡ found for the corresponding bimolecular self-exchange reaction in organic solvents, the volumes of activation ΔVel‡ for the electrode reaction are markedly positive, ranging from 8 to 12 cm3 mol–1. The volumes of activation ΔVdiff‡ for reactant diffusion (which can be equated to the volume of activation ΔVvisc‡ for viscous flow) range from 12 to 19 cm3 mol–1. For the Debye solvents acetonitrile and acetone at least, ΔVel‡ is given within the experimental uncertainty by ΔVdiff‡ + (ΔVex‡/2). In this relation, the numerical value of ΔVdiff‡ represents indirectly the dominant contribution of solvent dynamics (solvent friction) to ΔVel‡, and ΔVex‡/2 represents the pressure dependence of the free-energy barrier height for the electrode reaction. It is proposed that solvent friction is important in nonaqueous electrode processes but not in the corresponding bimolecular self-exchange reactions because the free-energy activation barrier is twice as high in the latter.Key words: electrode reaction kinetics, solvent dynamics, electron transfer mechanisms, pressure effects, volume of activation.

Developing a highly stable and non-precious, low-cost, bifunctional electrocatalyst is essential for energy storage and energy conversion devices due to the increasing demand from the consumers. Therefore, the fabrication of a bifunctional electrocatalyst is an emerging focus for the promotion and dissemination of energy storage/conversion devices. Spinel and perovskite transition metal oxides have been widely explored as efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts to replace the noble metals in fuel cell and metal-air batteries. In this work, we developed a bifunctional catalyst for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reaction (ORR/OER) study using the mechanochemical route coupling of cobalt oxide nano/microspheres and carbon black particles incorporated lanthanum manganite perovskite (LaMnO3@C-Co3O4) composite. It was synthesized through a simple and less-time consuming solid-state ball-milling method. The synthesized LaMnO3@C-Co3O4 composite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, and micro-Raman spectroscopy techniques. The electrocatalysis results showed excellent electrochemical activity towards ORR/OER kinetics using LaMnO3@C-Co3O4 catalyst, as compared with Pt/C, bare LaMnO3@C, and LaMnO3@C-RuO2 catalysts. The observed results suggested that the newly developed LaMnO3@C-Co3O4 electrocatalyst can be used as a potential candidate for air-cathodes in fuel cell and metal-air batteries.
