An electrode is an electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit (e.g. a semiconductor, an electrolyte, a vacuum or air). The word was coined by William Whewell at the request of the scientist Michael Faraday from the Greek words elektron, meaning amber (from which the word electricity is derived), and hodos, a way.
What Is an Electrode? An electrode conducts electricity in an electric circuit. It can come in the form of a plate, rod or wire and is made of metals like copper, lead, zinc or silver. Some electrodes, though are made of non-metallic substances like carbon. Electrodes used in electrochemical cells are either anodes or cathodes, depending on the electrical charge. The anode is the positive electrode, and it is through this that the electrical current passes out of the cell and triggers oxidation.
