A study has been made of the factors that affect or bring about the corrosion of the zinc electrode in a silver‐zinc‐alkali cell. Cells containing 30% potassium hydroxide as electrolyte were used and kept at room temperature. Special attention was centered on open circuit or stand conditions. This corrosion is affected primarily by oxygen and by dissolved silver oxides.
Dirkse et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
