Rechargeable manganese oxide electrode materials.

摘要

Improved manganese oxide electrode materials are disclosed. The improved electrode materials may be cycled between discharged and charged states at higher utilization of reactant and for a substantially greater number of cycles than previously known manganese dioxide electrode materials. The improved manganese oxide electrode materials are characterized in that a heavy metal selected from the group consisting of bismuth, lead, and mixtures of bismuth and lead is included in the electrode material.
