The Silver-Silver Oxide Electrode

Abstract
Silver electrodes were oxidized anodically at 25°C in 35 or 50% at constant charge currents that ranged from the ½ to 40 hr rates. The electrodes were given both partial and complete charges. Except at a low charging rate the capacity was higher in 35% than at 50 % . Oxidation was highly efficient at the first two potential plateaus. During a charge at the plateau initially oxidizes to and then the prevailing reaction is Ag oxidizing to . Simultaneously some reacts with Ag to give . Under certain discharge conditions may reduce directly to Ag, with forming as a secondary product.
