Better Batteries via Controlling the Properties of Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide

电解二氧化锰（EMD）的晶体结构、形貌和电化学特性等物理特性决定了其在碱性电池中的应用价值。然而，这些参数之间的关系尚不清楚。该APAI项目将通过关注EMD的基本物理、化学和电化学性质之间的关系，试图解决目前对生产过程理解中的这些缺陷。结果将有利于优化工艺，并确保能够始终如一地生产出性能优越的EMD。

Physical properties of electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD) such as crystal structure, morphology and electrochemical characteristics determine its usefulness in alkaline batteries. However, the relationship between these parameters is not well understood. This APAI project will attempt to address these shortcomings in the current understanding of the production process by focussing on the relationships between fundamental physical, chemical and electrochemical properties of EMD. The results will be of benefit in optimising the process and ensuring that EMD with superior performance can be consistently produced.
