11. Antimony was selected as the positive electrode due to its low cost and higher anticipated discharge voltage. 12. An example can be found in the oxidation of water to oxygen at the positive electrode in electrolysis. 13. These features are required because the negative electrode produces heat during use, while the positive electrode may produce oxygen. 14. "' Lithium cobalt oxide "'( ) is a chemical compound commonly used in the positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries. 15. One tank is used to store the electrolyte for the positive electrode reactions and the other for the negative. 16. In the United States, many battery manufacturers regard the positive electrode as the anode, particularly in their technical literature. 17. The main nickel compound in NiMH batteries is nickel oxyhydroxide ( NiOOH ), which is used as the positive electrode . 18. The positive electrode is composed mostly of materials in the solid state, which reduces the likelihood of corrosion, improving safety. 19. The positive electrode mixture is a compressed paste of manganese ( IV ) oxide with carbon powder added for increased conductivity. 20. In some literature, the terms " anode " and " cathode " are used in place of negative electrode and positive electrode .
