  2. Anode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anode

    The terms anode and cathode are not defined by the voltage polarity of electrodes, but are usually defined by the direction of current through the electrode. An anode usually is the electrode of a device through which conventional current (positive charge) flows into the device from an external circuit, while a cathode usually is the electrode through which conventional current flows out of ...

  3. Electrochemical coloring of metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_coloring...

    cathode made of platinum or stainless steel (needle), anode nickel-plated or gold-plated copper or brass or polished steel, duration 10 s, distance between cathode and anode 3 mm . [20] An electrolyte of 100 g of litharge dissolved in 0.5 l of water can also be used in which 100 g of NaOH is dissolved.

  4. Chloralkali process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloralkali_process

    A mixed metal oxide clad titanium anode (also called a dimensionally stable anode) is the industrial standard today. Historically, platinum, magnetite, lead dioxide, [12] manganese dioxide, and ferrosilicon (13–15% silicon [13]) have also been used as anodes. [14]

  5. Galvanic corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion

    In this case, sacrificial anodes work as part of a galvanic couple, promoting corrosion of the anode, while protecting the cathode metal. In other cases, such as mixed metals in piping (for example, copper, cast iron and other cast metals), galvanic corrosion will contribute to accelerated corrosion of parts of the system.

  6. Electrode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrode

    'Anode' was coined by William Whewell at Michael Faraday's request, derived from the Greek words ἄνο (ano), 'upwards' and ὁδός (hodós), 'a way'. [3] The anode is the electrode through which the conventional current enters from the electrical circuit of an electrochemical cell (battery) into the non- metallic cell.

  7. Auxiliary electrode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxiliary_electrode

    The auxiliary electrode functions as a cathode whenever the working electrode is operating as an anode and vice versa. The auxiliary electrode often has a surface area much larger than that of the working electrode to ensure that the half-reaction occurring at the auxiliary electrode can occur fast enough so as not to limit the process at the ...

    A food safety expert weighs in on flour bugs, also known as weevils, that can infest your pantry after one TikToker found her flour infested with the crawlers.

  9. Galvanic anode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_anode

    A galvanic anode, or sacrificial anode, is the main component of a galvanic cathodic protection system used to protect buried or submerged metal structures from corrosion. They are made from a metal alloy with a more "active" voltage (more negative reduction potential / more positive oxidation potential ) than the metal of the structure.
