Cathodic corrosion protection is widely used, but how it works exactly has been unclear and disputed by experts. ETH researchers propose a mechanism that resolves the apparent contradictions between ...

Photoelectrochemical cathodic protection (PECCP) is an advanced strategy employing semiconductor materials to generate electrons under illumination, thereby offering a sustainable method to mitigate ...

Corrosion is a chemical reaction to which even the strongest structures fall victim. Metals such as steel react with oxygen and water, going on to rust and decay. Cathodic protection plays a key role ...
