Cathodic corrosion protection is a widely used technique for protecting steel-based infrastructure from corrosion. ETH researchers have now clarified the detailed mechanisms involved, thereby ...

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 ...

Cathodic protection system optimisation seeks to balance effective corrosion control with minimal energy consumption and material use. Central to this endeavour is the design and placement of ...

This article summarises the international development of cathodic protection of steel in concrete. The technology was developed in Europe and the USA for applications to buried prestressed concrete ...

Photoelectrochemical cathodic protection harnesses solar energy to generate electron–hole pairs within semiconductor materials, typically in the form of nanostructured oxides or sulfides deposited on ...
