A number of laboratory observations on the effect of illumination on corroding copper are on record. Generally, these are concerned with short-time effects such as: the measurement of photovoltages for the purpose of characterizing corrosion product films(1,2), or the effect of illumination over short periods (up to a few hours) on oxide film thickness and film dissolution(3 4).
