Manganous Dioxide Mno2

With the endorsement of our experienced professionals, we are indulged in supplying and trading of Manganous Dioxide MnO2 in Pune, Maharashtra, India. Manganese(IV) oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula MnO2. This blackish or brown solid occurs naturally as the mineral pyrolusite, which is the main ore of manganese and a component of manganese nodules. The principal use for MnO2 is for dry-cell batteries, such as the alkaline battery and the zinc-carbon battery. MnO2 is also used as a pigment and as a precursor to other manganese compounds, such as KMnO4. It is used as a reagent in organic synthesis MnO2 in the I polymorph can incorporate a variety of atoms (as well as water molecules) in the "tunnels" or "channels" between the magnesium oxide octahedra. There is considerable interest in I -MnO2 as a possible cathode for lithium ion batteries.
