Abstract
eases the corrosion of the Zn matrix by decreasing the corrosion potential. These results are supported by various experimental observations; thus, they provide an in-depth understanding of the degradation behaviour of various Mg-Zn alloys as well as a feasible pathway in the design of biocompatible Mg-Zn alloys with first-principles informed Pourbaix diagrams.
