	Electrochemistry Dictionary
		An electrode that is shared by two series-coupled electrochemical cells in such a way that one side of the (usually planar) electrode acts as an anode in one cell and the other side acts as a cathode in the other cell.
		It is a two-electrode electrochemical cell with the working electrode (typically positioned at the end of a tubular structure) separated from the test solution by a thin membrane permeable to oxygen.
		In contrast, in the spontaneous electrochemical reaction in a galvanic cell the hydrogen is oxidized at the anode by transferring electrons to the anode and the oxygen is reduced at the cathode by accepting electrons from the cathode.

	Electrochemistry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Electrochemical cell which electrodes are Zinc and Copper submerged on Zinc sulfate and Copper sulfate respectively is known as Daniells cell.
		SHE operates exactly as the same way as conventional electrodes on Daniells cell's work; in order to measure the standard reduction potential, SHE replaces one of the electrodes in the electrochemical cell acting as cathode or anode, thus electric current generated on the cell represents the standard reduction potential for the element which is measured.
		Leclanché's cell is a good example of this, where cell's anode is a zinc container surrounded by a thin layer of manganese dioxide and a moist electrolyte paste of ammonium chloride and zinc chloride mixed with starch to have a pale and flabby consistency and avoiding flees.
