Anti-microbial corrosion performance of concrete treated by Cu2O electrodeposition: Influence of different treatment parameters

Electrodeposition of Cu2O on the concrete surface was applied to protect the concrete sewers from microbially induced corrosion. The effects of deposition time, current density, and electrolyte type and concentration on the antimicrobial properties of the Cu2O-electrodeposited mortar specimen were investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry were performed to analyse the...
