Self-discharge behaviour of the nickel-nickel oxide electrode

Résumé du colloque

On open circuit in aqueous alkaline solutions the isolated nickel oxide electrode loses a significant fraction of its charge and evolves oxygen. The kinetics of self-discharge have been studied by measurements of the decay of E. M. F. and of rates of oxygen evolution. The self-discharge proceeds by local action at a rate determined by the rate of evolution of oxygen at anodic sites. Several reaction pathways are suggested and a probable mechanism is deduced by reference to the experimental kinetic behaviour.
