Figure 1. Schematic sketch of the dissolution of a metal surface in MFB Grey/DL4 electrolyte. Metal ions (Mez+) are taken up by the ionically conductive solid during the electropolishing process. The conductive liquid serves to reduce the resistance of the electrolyte between the anode, ion-conducting solids and the cathode.
