3 Experimental Materials. La(NO 3 ) 3 6H 2 O (99.99%), Sr(NO 3 ) 2 (99.995%), Mn(NO 3 ) 2 xh 2 O (99.99%), Ni(NO 3 ) 2 6H 2 O (99.999%), Ca(NO 3 ) 2 4H 2 O (99.98%), citric acid monohydrate (99.5%), Nafion 117 solution (5 wt%), K 3 Fe(CN) 6 (99%), K 4 Fe(CN) 6 3H 2 O (99.95%), KCl (99%), and H 2 O 2 (30 wt.%), 1.0 N standard KOH solution, ultra-high purity O 2 (99.999%) and N 2 (99.99%) were commercially available and used as received. 30 wt.% platinum supported on Vulcan XC-72 carbon (Pt/C) was from E-Tek. Aqueous solutions were prepared with ultrapure water (>18 MΩ cm). Synthesis of La 0.5 Sr 0.5 Mn 1-x Ni x O 3-δ. Lanthanum strontium manganese nickel oxides La 0.5 Sr 0.5 Mn 1-x Ni x O 3-δ (x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8) were synthesized by a sol-gel method using nitrate salts and citric acid. We illustrated the synthesis route by taking the example of LSMN. 1.5 mmol of lanthanum nitrate, 1.5 mmol of strontium nitrate, 2.7 mmol of manganese nitrate, 0.3 mmol of nickel nitrate, and 12 mmol of citric acid were dissolved in 40 ml H 2 O. The mixed solution was heated at 80 C under magnetic stirring, until a viscous gel was formed. The gel was baked at 180 C for 16 h. The foam-like precursor was grinded in an agate mortar and was calcined at 950 C for 4 h. Electrical conductivity. A qualitative evaluation on the electrical conductivity was realized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) with catalyst-loaded glassy carbon electrode (GCE) as the working electrode. The catalyst loading was 1.2 mg cm -2. The electrolyte was N 2 -saturated 0.1 M KCl solution containing 5 mm K 3 Fe(CN) 6 and 5 mm K 4 Fe(CN) 6. The potential sweeping rate was 100 mv s -1. We employed the facile outer-sphere redox couple ferri/ferrocyanide, [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3 /4, to probe the electron transfer behavior. LSMN-loaded GCE exhibits well-defined Fe(CN) 6 ] 3 /4 redox peaks and notable currents in the CV voltammogram. As can be seen in Figure S8, S3

4 LSMN-loaded GCE shows the highest peak current among La 0.5 Sr 0.5 Mn 1-x Ni x O 3-δ. In contrast, smaller depressed redox peaks are observed for poor electronic conductors such as LaMnO 3 - loaded GCE. The sheet resistances of sintered La 0.5 Sr 0.5 Mn 1-x Ni x O 3-δ pellets were measured by a Loresta-GP MCP-T610 resistivity meter using a Loresta TFP probe (Mitsubishi Chemical Analytech) at room temperature. For each composition of La 0.5 Sr 0.5 Mn 1-x Ni x O 3-δ, the powders were compressed into pellet by a Φ 13 mm steel die (Cole Parmer) at 8 tons for 5 minutes. The green pellets are sintered at 1200 o C for 4h in ambient conditions. The electrical conductivity of LSMN was measured by impedance spectroscopy. The sintered pellet had a relative sintering density of 59 %. Both sides of the pellet were painted with silver paste (DuPont 5000) and dried at 120 o C in air. The effective conductivity (σ eff ) was calculated from σ eff = t/ra, where t is thickness, A is the area and R is the ohmic resistance. R was obtained from the equivalent circuit fitting of the impedance spectrum. The intrinsic conductivity (σ e ) was calculated according to a modified equation: 65 σ e = 0.493σ effτ 2 ε 1.57 β 0.72 (Equation S1) where τ is geometric tortuosity, ε volume fraction of pores, and β constrictivity. τ and β were taken to be 1.78 and 0.72, respectively. The intrinsic conductivity (σ e ) of LSMN was calculated to be 141 ms cm -1 based on the equivalent circuit fitting results of impedance spectrum as given in Figure S9. Characterization. Powder XRD patterns were recorded with a Bruker D8 Discover GADDS diffractometer with a Cu K α radiation. Surface morphology was characterized by a FESEM (JEOL JSM7600F) at an accelerating voltage of 5 KV. EDX spectrum was recorded by an AZtecSynergy system at an accelerating voltage of 15 KV. TEM images were taken by a Philips S4

5 CM300-FEG at an accelerating voltage of 300 kv. TOF-SIMS depth profiling was performed in dual beam mode using a TOF-SIMS IV instrument (IONTOF GmbH). XPS spectra were obtained with a Al Kα radiation (VG ESCALAB 200i-XL). Mn and Ni K edge XAS spectra were collected in transmission mode at XAFCA beamline, Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS). 64 Reference samples, i.e. LaMnO 3, CaMnO 3 and LaNiO 3, were prepared by a citric route. LaMnO 3 and CaMnO 3 were obtained after the calcination at 950 C for 4 h. LaNiO 3 was obtained after the calcination at 900 C for 8 h in O 2 atmosphere. Electrochemical measurement. Ag/AgCl reference electrode (3 M KCl), Pt sheet counter electrode, Φ 5mm GCE and RDE test rig were from Metrohm. RRDE test rig was from Pine Instruments. The Ag/AgCl electrode was converted to the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), E vs RHE = E vs Ag/AgCl V. To prepare a catalyst ink, 13 mg of catalyst and 65 µl 5 wt% Nafion solution were dispersed in 2.4 ml isopropanol over 1 h of sonication. An aliquot of catalysts ink was applied on GCE to yield a catalyst loading 0.5 mg cm -2. To prepare the catalyst ink from commercial Pt/C, 4 mg of catalyst and 13 µl 5 wt% Nafion solution were dispersed in 1 ml of 2.5:1 v/v water/isopropanol mixed solvent over 1 h sonication. 5 µl of the catalyst ink was pipetted onto a glassy carbon RDE, giving a catalyst loading of 0.1 mg cm -2. O 2 -saturated electrolyte was prepared by purging O 2 for at least 30 min prior to the start of each experiment. A flow of O 2 was maintained over the electrolyte during the experiments. The ORR polarization curves were recorded at a sweep rate of 5 mv s -1. The content of HO 2 generated during the ORR was determined by RRDE with an E7R9 AFE7R9GCPT tip (Pine Instruments). The Pt ring was set at 1.48 V. The collection efficiency of RRDE loaded with LSMN was calibrated in N 2 - saturated 0.1 M NaOH M K 3 Fe(CN) 6 solution (Figure S19). All the potentials were compensated with the ohmic drop (R = 39.0 Ω) given by impedance spectroscopy. S5

6 Koutecky Levich (K L) plots were generated from capacitive-corrected and ir compensated rotating disk electrode (RDE) voltammograms. The least squares fitted slopes of K L plots were used to calculate the electron transfer number (n): 1 = j j L 1 = + 1 j K 0.2nFC 0 (D 0 ) 2 3 v -1/6 ω 1/2 j K (Equation S2) where j K is the kinetic-limiting current density, ω is the angular velocity (rpm), C 0 is the bulk concentration of O 2, D 0 is the diffusion coefficient of O 2, and υ is the kinematic viscosity of the electrolyte. The yield of peroxide ions (HO 2 ), X HO2, and n at various potentials are monitored by rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE), according to Eqs. S3 and S4: X HO2 = 2 I R N I D +I R (Equation S3) n = 4 I D I D +I R /N (Equation S4) where I R is the ring current, I D the disk current, and N the collection efficiency. S6

Based on the isotherms, the BET surface areas of LSM, LSMN, La 0.5 Sr 0.5 Mn 0.8 Ni 0.2 O 3-δ and LaMnO 3 are calculated to be 2.05, 1.98, 3.25 and 0.24 m 2 g -1, respectively.

The potential sweeping rate is 100 mv s -1. Note that the higher redox peak currents signify the more conductive materials. LSMN shows the most pronounced redox peak currents, so that LSMN is the most conductive material of La 0.5 Sr 0.5 Mn 1-x Ni x O 3-δ. S14

A 1 kev Ar was used for sputtering while a pulsed 25 kev Bi was used for analysis. LSMN powder suspensions were drip coated on Si wafer substrate and dried in air. The A-site rich LSMN surface is evident from the much higher signal counts from A-site cation (i.e. La and Sr) species than those of B-site cations (i.e. Mn and Ni) species. As shown in A and B, The La and Sr signals in the initial 160 s are relatively undercounted because of their relatively heavy-weight ion species. The more pronounced dip of La species as compared to Sr species in the initial 160s further implies a higher surface concentration of Sr than that of La. S19
