First Steps in Developing Cement-Based Batteries to Power Cathodic Protection of Embedded Steel in Concrete

his paper presents the first steps in developing innovative cement-based batteries to power cathodic protection in reinforced concrete structures. Initial electrical outputs of 1.55V and 23mA have been found to be sufficient to polarise prescribed corrosion currents of 20mA per m2 of embedded steel....
