Better Batteries via Controlling the Properties of Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide

电解二氧化锰（EMD）的晶体结构、形貌和电化学性能等物理性质决定了其在碱性电池中的用途。然而，这些参数之间的关系并不清楚。该APAI项目将试图通过关注EMD的基本物理，化学和电化学性质之间的关系来解决目前对生产过程的理解中的这些缺点。研究结果将有助于优化生产工艺，确保生产出性能优良的上级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.
