An Introduction to Batteries: Components, Parameters, Types, and ...
Cathode: The cathode is the positive electrode (or electrical conductor) where reduction occurs, which means that the cathode gains electrons during discharge.The cathode typically determines the battery''s chemistry and comes in a variety of types (e.g. lithium-ion, alkaline, and NiMH). Anode: The anode is the negative electrode where oxidation occurs, which means that the …
