Nanoparticles with core–shell or hollow interiors have immense potential for catalysis. Herein, Ag@M x Fe 3− x O 4 (M = Co, Mn) core–shell nanoparticles were firstly synthesized through a seed-mediated method. These particles were then loaded onto carbon catalyst supports to form Ag@M x Fe 3− x O 4 /C. Then, hollow-M x Fe 3− x O 4 /C was prepared with the diffusion of Ag from Ag@M x Fe 3− x O 4 /C in saturated NaCl solution at room temperature . As a result, Ag@MnFe 2 O 4 /C demonstrates better oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity than Ag@CoFe 2 O 4 /C and other Ag@Mn x Fe 3− x O 4 /C with various Mn/Fe ratios. Moreover, Ag@MFe 2 O 4 /C shows superior ORR catalytic activities over hollow-MFe 2 O 4 /C, which can be due to electronic coupling between Ag core and MFe 2 O 4 shell. Furthermore, Ag@MnFe 2 O 4 /C catalysts demonstrate high durability for the ORR in alkaline media and insensitivity to methanol. These findings will provide helpful guidance for design and fabrication of carbon-supported core–shell catalysts for ORR in the future.
