    <p>Carbon-supported niobium oxide nanoparticle catalysts were synthesized for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in acidic media. These catalysts were prepared using a <sup>60</sup>Co gamma-ray and heat-treated with polyacrylonitrile. Carbon black powder or multi-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) was used as the support for the niobium nanoparticle. Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> nanoparticles with low crystallinity were fine and well dispersed on the carbon support in the as-irradiated samples. The loading amount of niobium increased with the absorbed dose, which indicated that niobium nanoparticles were produced by the irradiation. The as-irradiated composite nanoparticles were heat-treated under an H<sub>2</sub> atmosphere (5 %) or a mixed atmosphere of H<sub>2</sub> (2 %) and O<sub>2</sub> (0.05 %) to introduce active sites. The ORR activities were significantly enhanced by the heat treatment. Furthermore, the ORR activities were improved by using multi-walled CNT as the support.</p>

    <p>Fe, N-doped SrTiO<sub>3</sub> was successfully synthesized using pyrazine carboxylic acid-metal complexes as the starting materials and exhibited high onset potential of 0.8 V vs. RHE for the oxygen reduction reaction because of the formation of high-quality active sites by Fe and N doping, and electron conduction paths by carbon nanotubes.</p>

    <p>We investigated the effect of adding Fe and F in the synthesis of zirconium-oxide-based cathode precursors to enhance the catalytic activity in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in acidic media. In particular, we focused on adding F, and an ORR onset potential of 0.88 V was achieved by optimizing the amount of F added and heat treatment conditions contrary to a reversible hydrogen electrode. Additionally, a positive linear relationship was observed between the ORR onset potential and integrated intensity ratio of the monoclinic phase of ZrO<sub>2</sub> in the catalysts. This suggests that the monoclinic phase is fundamentally involved in the formation of active sites in the ORR in zirconium oxide-based cathodes.</p>
