Rechargeable manganese dioxide electrode material.

摘要

An improved manganese dioxide electrode material is disclosed. The improved electrode material is one which 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 dioxide electrode material is characterized in that a heavy metal selected from the troup comprising of bismuth, lead, and mixtures of bismuth and lead is included in the electrode material.
