Copper's oxygen-rich early oxidation layer could inform catalyst design and nuclear waste storage

Copper's oxygen-rich early oxidation layer could inform catalyst design and nuclear waste storageWorldPing

Copper roofs lose their reddish color over time because a pale green layer of copper oxide forms on their surface, protecting the roof from further corrosion for many years. But what exactly happens during the first steps of this process?

This is a short WorldPing brief. The full report was published by Phys.org.
