The new battery, from Hitachi, is said to have double the output of regular Lithium batteries, with a life span of ten years. This may drive the future manganese market if use is widespread. By Michael MontgomeryâExclusive to Manganese Investing News Manganese, most commonly used in steel alloys to prevent oxidization, may have a highly profitable new usage. Lithium-ion batteries, used in almost every hand held electronic device in the market today, are on the verge of a technological explosion. Hitachi Ltd. announced a new lithium-ion battery that contains manganese, which has doubled the life of the batteries while increasing electrical output.
* MnO2 is used in combination with anthracite, sand, and gravel in industrial water treatment plants. * Manganese dioxide also catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water: 2 H2O2(aq) â O2(g) + 2 H2O(l) * Eighteenth-century British chemists referred to MnO2 simply as manganese.Elemental manganese was known as regulus of manganese. * Ancient cave painters used MnO2 as a black or brown pigment. MnO2 was used for production of chlorine in the eighteenth century, before being displaced by electrolytic methods. The manganese dioxide was subsequently recovered by the Weldon process. * Earliest glassmakers used MnO2 to remove the natural bluish-green tint of glass, or to add a pinkish or purplish color.
