Sumario:The potentiodynamic behaviour of Ag in 0.1 <i>M</i> NaOH in the potential range of Ag<sub>2</sub>O electroformation is investigated through the application of different potential/time perturbation programmes. The splitting of the electroreduction profile which is produced under well-defined perturbation conditions and the shift of the Ag<sub>2</sub>O electroreduction <i>E/i</i> profile under a constant charge condition, suggest that ageing-type processes are involved in the overall electrochemical reaction. These processes are related to a probable dehydration of the Ag<sub>2</sub>O multilayer.
