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 https://openstax.org/books/chemistry-2e/pages/17-2-galvanic-cells[Flowers, Theopold, Langley and Robinson, Chemistry 2e, §17.2].
