The electronic states of manganese dioxide substituted with transition metals were theoretically calculated by DV-Xα method, cluster model was Mn 15 O 56 and Mn 14 XO 56 (X = transition metal). The energy band gap of manganese-X oxides is lower than that of manganese dioxide from theoretical calculation. Also it is identified that the electrical conductivity of manganese-tungsten oxide is better than that of manganese dioxide from experiment of anodic deposition method. It is confirmed that the theoretical calculation coincides with experimental results.
