Spinel-type oxides of MgMn x Fe 2-x O 4 , x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, were synthesized as a solid state reaction and characterized with dilatometry and resistivity measurements up to 1000°C. Results showed a general decrease of the linear expansion and an increase in conductivity as a function of the Mn content. Point electrodes were analyzed from 300 to 600°C in a pseudo-threeelectrode setup in 1% NO, 1% NO 2 , and 10% O 2 using cyclic voltammetry. The activities in O 2 were in general very low whereas the activities in NO were slightly higher. The activities in NO 2 were for all materials much higher than the activities in O 2 . Even though Mn tends to decrease the activity of the materials, current ratios of I NO x =I O 2 have relatively high values in both NO and NO 2 .
