The present invention relates to a divalent silver oxide for use in primary cells which is stable in an alkaline solution, slow in the speed of oxygen gas generation with favorable reproducibility and has x-ray diffraction peak values different from that of conventional divalent silver oxide and the method of manufacturing the divalent silver oxide of the above described type. By the employment of the divalent silver oxide according to the present invention, it is possible to produce, at low cost, batteries having high energy density per unit weight and volume, with small amount of gas generation to prevent swelling or expansion of the cells.
