Why Must the Positive Electrode Be Continually Replaced? Exploring the Key Factors in Battery Maintenance

Why Must the Positive Electrode Be Continually Replaced

The positive electrode in certain electrochemical systems, like rechargeable batteries, needs continual replacement due to several factors: How do chemical reactions affect electrode degradation? Electrochemical systems involve the flow of electrons and ions between the positive (cathode) and negative (anode) electrodes. During operation, chemical reactions occur at the electrodes. In a rechargeable battery, for example, … Read more
