The effect of tellurium (Te) doping on the electrocatalytic activity of La1-xTe xMnO3 toward the oxygen reduction reaction is investigated for the first time. La1-xTe xMnO3 with x-values up 23% were synthesized from a single ionic liquid-based precursor, yielding nanoparticles with mean diameter in the range of 40-68 nm and rhombohedral unit cell. Electrochemical studies were performed on carbon-supported particles in alkaline environment. The composition dependence activity is discussed in terms of surface density of Mn sites and changes in the effective Mn oxidation state.

Abstract
The effect of tellurium (Te) doping on the electrocatalytic activity of La1-xTe xMnO3 toward the oxygen reduction reaction is investigated for the first time. La1-xTe xMnO3 with x-values up 23% were synthesized from a single ionic liquid-based precursor, yielding nanoparticles with mean diameter in the range of 40-68 nm and rhombohedral unit cell. Electrochemical studies were performed on carbon-supported particles in alkaline environment. The composition dependence activity is discussed in terms of surface density of Mn sites and changes in the effective Mn oxidation state.
