Abstract
The square-type reaction scheme proposed to interpret the behaviour of the nickel hydroxide electrode in KOH solutions under non-equilibrium conditions must include electrochemical as well as chemical crossed reactions between the different transient species. These reactions are evidenced by means of the triangularly-modulated triangular potential sweep technique. The contribution of the crossed reactions in the square-type reaction scheme becomes more relevant as the KOH concentrations decreased in the presence of K2SO4 supporting electrolyte.
