A study has been made of the mechanism of the reaction taking place when zinc is anodically treated in potassium hydroxide solutions. The zinc‐containing ion present in solution as a result of the anodic treatment is . However, zinc oxide or hydroxide is an intermediate leading to the formation of . This latter ion then decomposes slowly to form zinc oxide.
