What Is Working Electrode. For corrosion applications the material of the working electrode is the material under. In physical-electrochemistry experiments this is most often an inert materialcommonly gold platinum or carbonwhich passes current to other species without being affected by that current. A working electrode WE is also called an indicator electrode it is used to reveal the properties of the analyte solution. The reference electrode lets you control the potential difference so you dont apply too much driving.
Generally it is not the actual metal structure being studied. In a 3 electrode system current flows between the working electrode WE and counter electrode CE. The reference electrode lets you control the potential difference so you dont apply too much driving. The working electrode can be referred to as either cathodic or anodic. The purpose of the auxiliary electrode AE is to provide a pathway for current to flow in the electrochemical cell without passing significant current through the reference electrode. It is the source of the electrons maybe not in all cases eg.
Working electrodes This is where it all happens.

For L-shaped and net platinum and gold electrodes please contact us. The working electrode can be referred to as either cathodic or anodic. Redox reactions also referred to as oxidation-reduction reactions involve the loss or gain of. The purpose of these electrodes is. The working electrode can be bare metal or coated.
