Novel Energy Harvesting Developed for Corrosion Protection in Transportation System
Corrosion causes significant losses to various industries. Cathodic protection is used to protect the steel in the marine structures. However, to further reduce the energy consume, the traditional cathodic protection needs to be improved.Corrosion causes significant losses to various industries.
