The precursor powder of CaVO3 was prepared by sol-gel method using vanadium pentoxide, calcium nitrate, citric acid, and oxalic acid as raw materials. The target product CaVO3 was obtained by calcining the precursor powder in argon atmosphere at 1000 degrees C. In order to determine the appropriate calcination temperature, thermal stability of the precursor powder was tested. The target product CaVO3 was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry, thermogravimetry (TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and conductivity. In addition, the properties for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) were also investigated, and the results showed that the electron transfer number of ORR on the modified electrode was 1.5-1.7, which indicating that ORR was a two-electron process.
