In the most common dry cell, which is the alkaline battery, manganese dioxide (MnO2) is reduced. During the electrochemical reaction, manganese dioxide acts as the cathode material, accepting electrons and being reduced to manganese oxide (Mn2O3) as the battery discharges. The anode typically consists of zinc, which is oxidized during the reaction.
