The oxygen reduction mechanisms on an oxide electrode are proposed. It was found, that in the temperature range 870–1020 K mechanism involving superoxide ions dominates, whereas in T < 870 К region the reaction mechanisms involving molecular oxygen apparently take place.

The results of the study of kinetics of oxygen reduction on the dense LaLi_0.1Co_0.1Fe_0.8O_3-d electrode in (Li_0.62K_0.38)₂CO₃ eutectic melt using coulostatic technique are reported. It was found, that the equivalent circuit that includes heterogeneous charge transfer step in series with heterogeneous chemical reaction most closely fits the kinetics of electrode processes.
