✦ Synopsis

Abstrac

-An electrode reaction coupled with dismutation of the reduction product is treated mathematically for the case of a porous oxygen electrode in an alkaline medium. The electrode is regarded as a superposition of three continuous phases and the changes of the electrolyte concentration are neglected. The course of the theoretical current/voltage curve agrees satisfactorily with experiments for a porous nickel electrode containing silver as catalyst.
