span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family: " times="" new="" roman","serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"times="" roman";mso-bidi-font-family:="" mangal;letter-spacing:-.3pt;mso-ansi-language:en-gb;mso-fareast-language:en-us;="" mso-bidi-language:hi"="" lang="EN-GB"MnOsub2/sub/graphene oxide composite coating has been prepared by electrochemical anodic deposition method. Optimization of current density and deposition efficiency is reported. The formation of ?-MnOsub2/sub/graphene oxide nanocomposite is elucidated through X ray diffraction and infrared reflection measurements. Morphological studies reveal the increase in porosity and exfoliation of graphene oxide by MnOsub2/sub particles. The extent of oxygen reduction reaction occurring at the surface of MnOsub2/sub/graphene oxide composite coating have been analyzed by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in aqueous 1 iM/i Lisub2/subSOsub4/sub solution. The composite coating is observed to possess better catalytic properties towards oxygen reduction./span
