What is another word for inert cathode?
Pronunciation: [ɪnˈɜːt kˈaθə͡ʊd] (IPA) 
An inert cathode is a component found in an electrochemical cell that is not directly involved in the electrochemical reaction, unlike the anode. Synonyms for the term "inert cathode" include non-reactive cathode, passive cathode, and inert electrode. These terms are often used interchangeably to refer to the same type of cathode. The inert cathode is typically made of a metal that is unreactive in the electrochemical reaction taking place. The non-reactive nature of the cathode makes it ideal for use as a reference electrode in some electrochemical experiments. The electrodes in an electrochemical cell play a crucial role in facilitating the flow of electrons from the anode to the cathode.
