TLDR
Based on the experimental determination of the reaction orders of OH−, O2 and the intermediate Mn3+ ion, this paper proposed a chemical oxidation mechanism for the catalytic oxygen reduction, in which oxygen reduction proceeds through chemical oxidation of the discharge product of MnO2 rather than through a direct two-electron reduction.

In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy investigation of a bifunctional manganese oxide catalyst with high activity for electrochemical water oxidation and oxygen reduction.

TL;DR: In situ XAS measurements on a bifunctional manganese oxide catalyst with high electrochemical activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) demonstrate that the OER activity scales with film thickness, which suggests that the films have porous structure, which does not restrict electrocatalysis to the top geometric layer of the film.
