Abstract

A new densification method of chemical manganese dioxide (CMD)-NaMnO4 densification has been developed. This MnO2 produced by NaMnO4 oxidation possessed γ-type structure. After the crude MnO2 was densified, the tap density of the MnO2 powder could be increased from 1.2 to 2.0 g/cm3. The discharge capacity is higher than that densified by other oxidizers.
