Abstract
Magnesium-meta-dinitrobenzene, hereafter referred to as MgIDNB, organic cells are considered
as a high energy density primary power source, though lacking in a high power density
capability. To improve the current drain characteristics of the DNB, electrolytic manganese
dioxide is incorporated in the cathode. The cathode variables are optimised after selection of
suitable grid. Fifteen percent of manganese dioxide additive to the cathode mix is found to
deliver good reduction efficiency at moderate current drain. Performance results of MgIDNB
cell at moderate current drain at room temperature (30°C) and temperature down to -2O0Care
reported. High energy density per unit weight, voltage stability ti11 80% of its capacity, low cost
and availability of DNB are the importantifnd attractive features of this organic battery system.
