Abstract Ag@Cu₂₊₁O/MWNTs catalysts were prepared by one-step method with THPC as reducing agent and MWNTs as support. The structure, morphology, and composition of the catalyst were characterized by X-ray diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In addition, the catalyst load and ORR performance were tested. It can be seen that the Ag and Cu₂₊₁O loading (mass fraction, %) of Ag@Cu₂₊₁O/MWNTs catalyst are 9.32% and 5.90%, respectively, and the average particle size of Ag@Cu₂₊₁O catalyst is about 7 nm. Ag@Cu₂₊₁O/MWNTs catalyzes direct four-electron oxygen reduction in alkaline medium, the half-wave potential of Ag@Cu₂₊₁O/MWNTs is 0.75 V, the limit diffusion current density is close to 5.5 mA/cm² at 1 600 r/min and the slope of Tafel is 92 mV/dec, which is equivalent to the performance of 20%Pt/C and is more outstanding than Ag/MWNTs catalyst with 17.5%Ag loading capacity. Meanwhile, Ag@Cu₂₊₁O/MWNTs has the same stability as 20%Pt/C and better resistance to methanol poisoning. When used as cathode catalyst for aluminum-air battery, Ag@Cu₂₊₁O/MWNTs exhibits power density (148.7 mW/cm²), capacity (1 260 mAh/g) and stability which is comparable to that of 20%Pt/C.
