Can any one give a good explanation that is not so confusion concerning the anode and cathode, relating to rechargable batteries and cells.
At the cathode of a cell you get a reduction and at the anode you get oxidation. Electrons flow into cathode of the cell and thus produce a high alkiline around the electrode, OH-. Although on a Porbaix diagram the most negative side has a H+?
In electronics the cathode is negative and the anode in positive and electrons travel from negtive to positive therefore the positive (anode), when charging, will connect to the to the cathode of the battery and cathode to anode of a battery???
