It was investigated into the effects on zinc corrosion of the rotation speed of Zn-RDE and the oxygen concentration in borate buffer solution. Zinc corrosion was heavily influenced on the rotation speed of electrode and the oxygen concentration. We have suggested the disproportion reaction following the reversible one electron transfer as the corrosion mechanism of zinc.
