The unit cell expansion is the direct result of the reduction process, with the discharge products (Mn³⁺ and OH⁻) being larger than the corresponding ions in the host lattice (Mn⁴⁺ and O²⁻). Gas adsorption isotherms on the same series of reduced EMD samples demonstrated that the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area decreased considerably over the entire discharge compositional range. The calculated pore size distribution showed that microporosity was eliminated with reduction, but the mesopore volume increased. The origin of these changes in porosity is discussed in terms of the structural expansion, as is their effect on electrochemical performance.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:47:47 AEDT ]]>
