Phase-transition tailored nanoporous zinc metal electrodes by Liangyu Li and others. publication title and author list
An electrode is an electronic electrical conductor in contact with an electrolyte. In a cell carrying sustained redox electric current, chemical reactions at this interface exchange electrons with chemical species. An electrode can participate in the chemical reaction, as the dissolving zinc anode of a Daniell cell does, or provide a conducting surface without appearing in the net chemical equation. This distinction is illustrated by active and inert electrodes in Flowers, Theopold, Langley and Robinson, Chemistry 2e, §17.2.
Liangyu Li and colleagues, Nature Communications 13, 2870, DOI 10.1038/s41467-022-30616-w. Primary demonstration of rechargeable alkaline Zn-air cells; morphology, zincate transport and passivation. This later experiment corroborates rechargeability rather than supplying an official exam answer.
