Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and flow of electric charge. Electricity gives a wide variety of well-known effects, such as lightning, static electricity, electromagnetic induction and electrical current. In addition, electricity permits the creation and reception of electromagnetic radiation such as radio waves.

An electrode is a fundamental component in electrochemical systems, serving as a conductor through which electric current enters or leaves a non-metallic medium such as an electrolyte, gas, or vacuum. In environmental applications, electrodes play a critical role in processes like water treatment, air purification, and soil remediation, where they facilitate redox reactions to degrade pollutants or generate reactive species. Their design and material composition directly influence efficiency, selectivity, and longevity in these systems.
