词汇 cathode
释义

Definition of cathode in English:

cathode

noun ˈkaθəʊdˈkæθˌoʊd
  • 1The negatively charged electrode by which electrons enter an electrical device.

    负极,阴极。ANODE 的反义词

    The opposite of anode
    Example sentencesExamples
    • Oxygen enters at the cathode, where it combines with electrons and is split into ions that travel through the electrolyte to react with fuel at the anode.
    • The fact that identical electrons were emitted from cathodes of a range of materials under a range of conditions strongly suggested that the electron is a fundamental constituent of all atoms.
    • Those same ions would then flow to the cathode, and after electrons were added, would end up as pure copper.
    • The opening focuses the electrons emitted from the cathode onto the anode to a spot size preferably less than 40 nanometers.
    • An electron originating near the planar cathode and ultimately collected at electrode A will induce an equal charge at A and B during most of its journey.
    1. 1.1 The positively charged electrode of an electrical device, such as a primary cell, that supplies current.
      (原电池等的)阳极
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Therefore, in electrolytic cells, the cathode is the negative terminal and the anode is the positive terminal.
      • The electrons on the anode migrate via a wire to the cathode, the other electrode in the fuel cell, where they are electrochemically assisted to combine with the protons and produce hydrogen gas.
      • But because electrons must be supplied to the cathode by an external power source to drive this process, the cathode in an electrolytic cell has a negative charge.
      • Most fuel cells use a polymer electrolyte membrane to separate the cathode and anode.
      • The trouble with the fuel cell is that it requires a barrier between the anode and the cathode because the oxidizing and reducing agents will corrode catalytic elements if allowed to intermix.

Derivatives

  • cathodal

  • adjective
    • Stimulation parameters consisted of 0.5 ms trains of rectangular, cathodal pulses, 0.1 ms in duration, provided by a constant-current amplifier.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • In all experiments, the anodal and cathodal solutions were identical and comprised 10 mM Tris buffer at pH 6.3 or pH 8.5 together with additional electrolytes as described below.
      • The genetic interpretation of the relative mobility for the observed bands led us to assign an ‘a’ to the most anodal allele, and a letter following the alphabetic sequence to each subsequent cathodal allele.
      • Two different regions of activity were identified for DIA, from which only the most cathodal was consistently interpreted.
      • Interestingly, one sample had increased polyclonal, cathodal IgG, probably of the IgG, subclass; the AMCVs for this sample were relatively high (and higher than those for most IgG MC).
  • cathodic

  • adjective kəˈθɒdɪk
    • Researchers determined the optimum potential for switching the photocurrent to be - 0. 05V, where the anodic and cathodic photocurrents are about the same.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • There are three broad classes of corrosion-inhibiting admixtures, using different chemical mechanisms to control oxidation and the resulting corrosion - anodic inhibitors, cathodic inhibitors, and organic inhibitors.
      • Stainless steels are positioned towards the cathodic end of the galvanic series in seawater.
      • Welds made with these electrodes are cathodic to the base metal and thus resist galvanic corrosion.
      • Although the actual chemical reactions taking place within a battery are very complex, the major cathodic and anodic reactions can be idealized based on a knowledge of the parts of a battery and their electrochemical function.

Origin

Mid 19th century: from Greek kathodos 'way down', from kata- 'down'+ hodos 'way'.
