AI Summary

Researchers at the University of Osaka and international collaborators discovered that the arrangement of water molecules adjacent to carbon electrodes influences corrosion under strongly oxidizing conditions. The study shows that when water molecules remain connected near the electrode surface, carbon degradation is reduced. This finding suggests a new strategy to enhance the durability of carbon electrodes used in fuel cells and water electrolyzers. The results are published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition.
