Comment on "Nanometer-Scale Corrosion of Copper in De-Aerated Deionized Water" [J. Electrochem. Soc., 161, C107 (2014)]

Cleveland et al. • C.) We claim that the trace amounts of oxygen in the experiment are sufficient to explain the derived corrosion rates. We also have concerns regarding the thermodynamic calculations and regarding the way in which the authors interpret results of thermodynamic calculations in other studies. These points are developed in the following
