Abstract
Anodic polarization behavior of copper in propylene carbonate was investiga ted using electrochemical measurements, microscopic observations, elemental and gravimetric analyses. These results exhibited that anodic polarization of copper brought about oxidative dissolution of the metal substrate in co mpetition with decomposition of the electrolyte on the metal surface. A rea ction mechanism for oxidative dissolution was proposed with respect to both the charge transferring and the geometric form. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
