Anisotropic etching of platinum electrodes at the onset of cathodic corrosion

The corrosion mechanism of metals at cathodic potentials is still poorly understood. Here the authors report the cathodic corrosion onset potential of platinum in concentrated sodium hydroxide, showing etching anisotropy, and present a framework to determine such characteristics for other metals/sol...
