Glossary: Rotating Electrode

A rotating electrode is a special type of working electrode used for analytical purposes in an electrochemical cell. By spinning a disk or cylinder at high speed in an electrolyte solution, a well-defined mass transport condition is created.

Glossary: Electrochemical Cell

An apparatus consisting of two (or more) electrodes which, while separated from each other spatially, are in electrical contact with each other via a current path passing through one (or more) conductive media with which the electrodes are in contact.

Glossary: Electrode

An electrode is one of the external terminals on an electrochemical cell at which electrical contact with the cell can be made. At a minimum, an electrochemical cell has two electrodes, often referred to as the anode and the cathode, which are the connection points at...

Glossary: Electroanalytical Cell

A electroanalytical cell is an electrochemical cell designed for making an analytical measurement, such as measuring the concentration of an analyte in a solution or measuring the rate constant of a reaction at an electrode surface.

Glossary: Cathode

The cathode is the particular electrode in an electrochemical cell at which a reduction process is occurring. Related Terms: anode, cathodic current

Glossary: Anode

The anode is the particular electrode in an electrochemical cell at which an oxidation process is occurring. Related Terms: cathode, anodic current
