✦ Synopsis


The anodic dissolution and passivation of vertical porous zinc electrodes that were prepared by pressing zinc powder or amalgamated zinc powder into small disks were studied in 6 M KOH + O-25 M ZnO by measuring potentiostatic current/potential curves at a rate of 1 mV/s and by taking photomicrographs of the electrodes at the beginning of the runs and after repeated cycling. Comparison of the current/potential curves of porous and smooth eldrodes demonstrates that only a small fraction of the interior of the different porous electrodes participates in the electrochemical processes. The lower part (about 10%) of vertical electrodes of smooth zinc or pressed zinc powder are much less reactive than the rest of the electrodes. Repeated cycling leads to a finer porosity of electrodes made of zinc powder. Amalgamation (5 O/,10 "/,) appears to reduce the latter two effects. R&nun&Etude de la dissolution anodique et de la passivation des dlectrodes verticales de zinc poreuses, prbpar&s en pressant en petits disques de Ia poudre de zinc ou de zinc amaIgamc5, dans ICOH 6 M -I-ZnO, 0,25 M, au moyen des courbes potentiostatiques courantltension etablies B Ia vitesse de 1 mV/s et de microphotographies des 6lectrodes au dbbut des essais et apr&s r&p&ition du cycle. La comparaison des courbes courant/potentiel des bleotrodes poreuses et des Bectrodea polies, ddmontre qu'une petite fraction seulement de I'interieur des diffkrentes electrodes poreuses prend part aux porcessus &ctrochimiques. L.es parties plus basses (environ 10%) des Electrodes verticales de zinc poli ou de poudre de zinc press6 sont beaucoup moins rkactives que le reste des electrodes. La r&petition du cycle affIne la porosit6 des Electrodes en poudre de zinc. L'amalgamation (5 x-10 %) semble diminuer les deux demikres influences. Zusammenf&ssunz-Die anodische AufIiisung und Passivieruug vertikaler porijser Zinkelektroden, die durch das Pressen von Zinkpulver oder von amalgamiertem Zinkpulver in s&male Scheiben bereitet worden waren, wurden in 6 M KOH + O-25 M ZnO durch Aufnehmen potentiostatischer Stromspannungskurven mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 1 mV/s und durch Photographieren der Elektroden am Anfang der Messungen und nach wiederholten Durchllufen studiert. Der Vergleich der Stromspannungskurven poraser und glatter Elektroden zeigt, dass mu ein kleiner Teil des Inneren der verschiedenen porijsen Elektroclen am elektrochemischen Prozess teilnimmt. Der untere Teil (ungefahr 10 %) vertikaler Elektroden aus glattem Zink oder gepresstem ZinkpuIver ist weniger reaktiv als der Rest der Elektrode. Widerholte Durchliiufe ftihren zu einer feineren PorositLit der gepressten Zinkelektroden. Amalgamieren (5 "A-1 0 %) scheint die Ietzteren zwei Effekte zu reduzieren.

## Abstract The electrochemical behaviour of zinc in NaOH solutions has been investigated by using potentiodynamic technique and complemented by X‐ray analysis. The E/i curves exhibit active, passive and transpassive regions prior to oxygen evolution. The active region displays two anodic peaks. Th
