ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a primary alkaline battery having a cathode made of porous manganese dioxide, wherein a significant portion of the total pore volume of the manganese dioxide comprises pores which are large. Preferably, at least thirty percent of the total pores of the manganese dioxide are greater than substantially sixty Angstroms. The use of large pore manganese dioxide increases the discharge output and time of the battery, and further decreases manufacturing problems related to die pressing cathode rings from manganese dioxide by reducing the “spring back” or “bounce back” of the manganese dioxide as measured in the die set and after being removed from the die set.
