anód
Anód is the electrode at which oxidation occurs in an electrochemical cell. It is the site where electrons are removed from chemical species during the redox process, and these electrons flow through the external circuit to the cathode. The term is used across galvanic (voltaic) cells, electrolytic cells, and related technologies such as fuel cells and electrolysis.
The polarity of the anode depends on the type of cell. In a galvanic (spontaneous) cell, the
Anodes can be made from various materials depending on the chemical environment and the desired reaction. In
Applications of anodes include metal refining, electroplating, water electrolysis, and fuel cells. In electrolysis, the anode
Understanding the anód concept helps explain how different electrochemical devices control reaction pathways, material lifetimes, and
