“…In this work, the versatility of this in situ technique was demonstrated by the phase transformation of lead dioxide (α-PbO 2 ) in 1 mol L −1 H 2 SO 4 solution to PbSO 4 and β-PbO 2 during cathodic and anodic polarization, respectively. The approach was followed by others aiming at a better understanding of the rates and mechanisms of corrosion of commercial materials, such as carbon steel and metallic copper (De Marco et al, 2005;Ingham et al, 2010Ingham et al, , 2012Leyssens et al, 2005).…”
