“…Different passive and active states can be found depending on the applied voltage/current, time, substrate, and electrolyte [121]. Studies have investigated many aspects of anodizing Mg, such as electrolyte composition [122][123][124][125], anodizing parameters such as constant voltage or constant current density control modes [120,124,126], substrate effects including substrate type, Mg purity, and alloying element concentration [38,72,120,124,127], and time of anodization [114]. Different electrolytes have been proposed: either an aqueous [114-116, 123-125, 128-132] or nonaqueous [119,133] solutions.…”
