A novel form of manganese dioxide is produced by heat treating lambda-manganese dioxide at a temperature of between about 250 DEG C. and about 400 DEG C. This manganese dioxide possesses an x-ray diffraction pattern indicating peaks at 3.11, 2.41, 2.11, 1.62, 1.56, 1.43 and 1.31 angstroms, and exhibits desirable electrochemical activity. |
