Abstract

In an embodiment, a secondary Zn—MnO2 battery comprises a battery housing, a MnO2 cathode, a Zn anode, and an electrolyte solution. The MnO2 cathode, the Zn anode, and the electrolyte solution are disposed within the battery housing, and the MnO2 cathode comprises a MnO2 cathode mixture and a current collector. The MnO2 cathode mixture is in electrical contact with at least a portion of an outer surface of the current collector, and the MnO2 cathode has a porosity of from about 5 vol. % to about 90 vol. %, based on the total volume of the MnO2 cathode mixture of the MnO2 cathode.
