Manganese dioxide is used in all brands of dry cell batteries (both the old acidic electrolyte formula and the modern alkaline electrolyte formula) as a catalyst to speed the conversion of microscopic hydrogen gas bubbles that form on the zinc electrode during use back into water. If allowed to accumulate these hydrogen bubbles raise the internal resistance and cause a battery to appear to go dead long before it has died.
So called "rechargeable alkaline batteries" are not actually rechargeable, their "charger" just applies a small reverse current which further speeds conversion of the microscopic hydrogen gas bubbles back into water. The correct term for this process is rejuvenation, as all it does is reduce internal resistance of the battery.

What are the chemicals in dry cell batteries and what is their purpose?
dry cells don't have liquids inside but they do have some sort of a paste of zinc chloride and ammonium chloride dissolved in water. The positive terminal is usually a carbon rod or graphite rod surrounded by a mixture of manganese dioxide and carbon powder. the negative terminal is the packaging, and is made of zinc.you should just look it up on wikipedia, and you will save yourself a lot of time...
