Abstract
Compositional and structural changes within an electrolyte solution above an electrochemically active metal surface have been visualised using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the first time. In these proof-of-concept experiments, zinc metal was galvanically corroded in a saturated lithium chloride solution. Magnetic resonance relaxation maps were taken during the corrosion process and spatial variations in both T-1 and T-2 relaxation times were observed to change with time. These changes were attributed to changes in the speciation of zinc ions in the electrolyte. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
