Abstract
A characteristic of magnesium (Mg) dissolution is that dissolution is accompanied by a concomitant increase in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), a phenomenon known as cathodic activation. When magnesium undergoes free corrosion or forced dissolution in response to anodic polarisation, cathodic...
