Despite this, recent interest in cold fusion has surfaced among researchers. It also explains electrolytic cells, emphasizing their use of external electrical energy to drive nonspontaneous reactions, and highlights the reversed roles of anode and cathode compared to spontaneous reactions.

Two classes of indicator electrodes are used to make potentiometric measurements: metallic electrodes, which are the subject of this section, and ion-selective electrodes, which are covered in the next section.
