Measurements showed that the solid-contact ISME had a lower internal resistance and a faster response time than the one with a liquid-contact These advantages increased the spatial distribution and improved 2D images depicting concentration distributions of Mg2+. The ability of the microelectrode to image local ionic concentration has been tested over magnesium surfaces freely corroding or galvanically coupled to iron in aqueous chloride-containing solution. Scans of magnesium ion distribution, in the absence of corrosion currents, were also made over a micro-pipette source containing a concentrated magnesium chloride gel as a source pf Mg2+ and over a current source in the absence of Mg2+. From these measurements it was concluded that the potentiometric measurements over corroding surfaces were dominated by the changes in Mg2+ distributions with small electric potential contributions due to corrosion current YR 2013 FD 2013 LK http://riull.ull.es/xmlui/handle/915/19152 UL http://riull.ull.es/xmlui/handle/915/19152 LA en DS Repositorio institucional de la Universidad de La Laguna RD 24-nov-2024
