We prove that the heat kernel on the infinite Bernoulli percolation cluster in $\Z^d$ almost surely decays faster than $t^{-d/2}$. We also derive estimates on the mixing time for the random walk confined to a finite box. Our approach is based on local isoperimetric inequalities. Some of the results of this paper were previously announced in the note of Mathieu and Remy
[C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Sér. I Math.
