Anode vs Prebake - What's the difference?
anode | prebake |
(electricity) An electrode, of a cell or other electrically polarized device, through which a positive current of electricity flows outwards (and thus, electrons flow inwards). It usually, but not always, has a positive voltage.
(chemistry, by extension) The electrode at which chemical oxidation of anions takes place, usually resulting in the erosion of metal from the electrode.
(electronics) The electrode which collects electrons emitted by the cathode in a .
(electronics) That electrode of a semiconductor device which is connected to the p-type material of a p-n junction.
To bake (a crust, an industrial compound, etc.) in advance.
A technology for producing aluminium in which the anodes are baked in large gas-fired ovens before being lowered into the electrolytic solution.
