The design and synthesis of MnCo 2 O 4 anchored on P-doped hierarchical porous carbon (MCO/P-HPC) is reported. Without harsh oxidative treatment, creating anchoring sites for MnCo 2 O 4 on the surface of carbon is realized by Pdoping in carbon. The chemical coupling between P-HPC and MCO induced by P-doping provides pathways for fast charge transport. This hybrid with a hierarchical porous structure favors efficient electrolyte penetration, oxygen transport, and effective accommodation of insoluble discharge product Li 2 O 2 . When employed as an electrocatalyst in rechargeable Li−O 2 batteries, the MCO/P-HPC hybrid delivers a high discharge capacity (13 150 mAh g −1 at 200 mA g −1 ), excellent rate capability (7028 mAh g −1 at 1000 mA g −1 ), and long cycle stability (200 cycles at a capacity of 1000 mAh g −1 under 200 mA g −1 ).
