The reduction of graphene oxide(GO), in?situ loading of SnSe and interface assembly were achieved simultaneously by microwave method, and the reduced graphene oxide(rGO)?supported the petal?shaped SnSe (SnSe/rGO) composite was successfully prepared. The SnSe/rGO was characterized by Raman spectroscopy, X?ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the effects of different rGO contents for SnSe/rGO composite on the electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) were investigated. The results indicated that there was an interaction between SnSe and matrix rGO, and Sn-C and Sn-O-C bonds were used as bridges of charge transfer. The intimate interconnection between the petal?like SnSe and the rGO formed a robust three?dimensional mesh structure, which served to reinforce the overall structural integrity of the catalyst, preventing its collapse. Based on this, the optimized SnSe/10%rGO catalyst (10rGO means that the mass fraction of rGO is 10%) exhibited excellent ORR activity with a limiting current density of 3.79 mA/cm2, an onset voltage （vs.RHE） of 0.85 V, and an electron transfer number of 3.10. Meanwhile, the SnSe/10%rGO catalyst performed the electrocatalysis long?term stability superior that of commercial 20%Pt/C （20%Pt means that the mass fraction of Pt is 20%） with the current density remaining 81.15% of the start value after 20 000 s of reaction. The present work offers insights into the preparation of non?precious metal cathode oxygen reduction catalytic materials for fuel cells.
