Abstract: The discharge and charge mechanisms of Zn/1 mol/L Zn(ClO4)2-PC/λ-MnO2 were investigated by microelectrode voltammetry, coulometry and XRD analysis. It is found that zinc can intercalate electrochemically into or deintercalate from λ-MnO2 in 1mol/L Zn(ClO)2-PC with the spinel structure of λ-Mno2 being remained intact.

Key words: manganese dioxide, zinc ion, electrochemical intercalation
