Electrode potential Potential of a cell assembled of two electrodes can be determined from the two individual electrode potentials using or, equivalently, This follows from the IUPAC definition of the electric potential difference of a galvanic cell, according to which the electric potential difference of a cell is the difference of the potentials of the electrodes on the right and the left of the galvanic cell. When Δ"V" is positive, then positive electrical charge flows through the cell from the left electrode (anode) to the right electrode (cathode). Electrode potential Electrode potential, "E", in chemistry or electrochemistry, according to a IUPAC definition,
Auxiliary electrode species which exhibits reversible redox behavior. Auxiliary electrodes are often fabricated from electrochemically inert materials such as gold, platinum, or carbon. Auxiliary electrode The auxiliary electrode, often also called the counter electrode, is an electrode used in a three electrode electrochemical cell for voltammetric analysis or other reactions in which an electric current is expected to flow. The auxiliary electrode is distinct from the reference electrode, which establishes the electrical potential against which other potentials may be measured, and the working electrode, at which the cell reaction takes place. In a two-electrode system, either a known current or potential is
