Rechargeable Manganese Oxide Electrodes and Cells

  • Chapter
Electrochemistry in Transition

Abstract

Rechargeable batteries are indispensable as subsidiary power plants or as auxiliaries in a large segment of industrial products. The necessity of their further development increases with the rapid expansion of industries using throwaway primary cells and with the concern about energetic and environmental problems. Primary batteries contribute to a considerable energy waste (the energy expended in manufacturing may exceed ten times the energy supplied by the battery during its lifetime), valuable material waste, and waste disposal problems. Secondary batteries presently in use might have to be replaced if the use of toxic lead and cadmium were to be prohibited.
