Abstract:Despite widespread use over several decades, the lithium/manganese dioxide (Li/MnO2) discharge mechanism is not completely understood owing to the structural complexity of the material. However, an improved understanding could lead to broader adoption as a primary and even secondary cathode material. Here, we examine the discharge of single-phase β-MnO2 using isothermal microcalorimetry for the first time. Equilibrium voltage and entropy changes are characterized over the entire discharge range and used to rat… Show more
