Electrodes are electrical conductors which sustain electrical currents to a circuit or any material to measure conductivity or change for another purpose. Electrodes can be used in different fields such as Medicine (ECG, EEG, ECT and defibrillators), Arc wielding and metal cutting (EDM), biomedical researches, criminal execution (electric chair), chemical analysis and electrochemical methods and Membrane Electrode Assemble. The electrode materials inside its body help in sustaining electrical currents for another material. It is composed of different metallic elements and compounds that if combined together will generate electricity. These are the following elements and compounds that make up the electrode materials and its uses: Aluminum is a silver lightweight malleable metal which has the one-third hardness and density of steel. It is a great electrical conductor. Cesium Carbonate is white soluble compound used mostly as base in the chemical synthesizer. It is one of the most electropositive out of all compounds. Its component can donate electron into other elements or compounds. It is considered as one of the energy fillers of an electrode. It is also one of the electrode materials that make up the first unique layer which solely creates 1.05 electron volts. Gold is shiny, soft and malleable metal with a bright yellow appearance. It is mostly used in jewelry making and is very valuable even in little amounts. It is very ductile and has electroplating components when dissolved with salt cyanide (Gold cyanide). Electroplating means the capability to coat a certain conductive element not only for protection against corrosion but also for multiplying the conductivity twice of its original state. It also has a electroforming capability which means having the capability to sustain itself with electron after the electroplating. Both components are valuable in electrode making. Lithium Fluoride is the white, inorganic material with compounds similar of the sodium chloride. It helps in the efficient running of electrolysis in an electrode. It also enhances electron injection to the other layer. Molybdenum Oxide is used as additive steel for resistance against corrosion. Corrosion degrades the strength, appearance and permeability of an element or compound. Palladium Granular is the annealed (thermal variations of an element) version of palladium. It is a soft and silvery metal that has great electrical conductivity. It is also used as conductor plating in most electronics. Silver is the white, malleable and metallic element mostly used in jewelry making (like gold). It has the highest electrical conductivity out of all metals making it very essential as one of electrode materials. Though it has a higher electrical conductivity than copper; copper are still widely used because of silver’s value. Lanthanum-Cobalt-Nickel alloy is the mixture of alloy compounds that produces high strength, wear-resistant and electropositive components that will help in production of energy in an electrode. Yttrium is the silvery metal which is considered as a superconducting material. It conducts a great amount of electricity perfect for electrode construction. It has an electronegativity (attracts electron) component basically placed on end layers of an electrode to allow the passing of electron from one side to another.
