Abstract:Understanding elemental corrosion currents and visualizing corroding topographies provides a detailed insight into corrosion mechanisms at the nanoscale. Here, we develop a strategy to understand the elemental composition, corrosion resistivity, and local stability of passive materials. Specifically, we utilize a pulse voltammetry approach in a novel electrochemical atomic force microscopy (AFM) cell and complement this data by real-time dissolution currents based on spectroelectrochemical online analysis in a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
