Abstract
A Modified Rectangular Wave Polarization Control (MRWPC) system generates an automatically adjustable rectangular wave to optimize polarization of electrodes in relative electrolytes by decreasing the concentration polarization effect. The MRWPC system provides corrosion mitigation for metallic structures in corrosive environments, battery rejuvenation/rapid charging, enhancements in the electroplating process, and other procedures that utilize electrochemical reactions.
