Abstract

We prepared MnO2 by electrolysis of manganese sulfate solution recovered from used batteries and commercial manganese sulfate solution. The comparative study of the two samples using electrochemical techniques in alkaline solution shows that the two samples exhibit the same behavior. From XRD, we identified and indexed both samples by γMnO2 orthorhombic structure. We estimated the proton diffusion coefficient using galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT). Our calculated data are in good agreement with theoretical values for both samples. In addition TG analysis shows the same thermal profile for both samples.
