Can the metal plates in an electrochemical cell be made of the same metal?

Historically, no, each metal has its own redox potential and it is the difference between them that causes the flow of electrons with the electrolyte carrying the charge in the cell and the circuit between the metals that carries them outside the cell.
However, there are now cells that do not use the metals to create the electrochemical potentials where the metals are only conductors wherein the metals are where the electrochemical reactions take place, but are not reactants. These have to have a membrane between the two reaction compartments to keep the two reactants from reacting in solution or in the gaseous state. These are more often referred to as batteries in my opinion, or as fuel cells.

What happens in electrochemical cell to cause it to go flat?
An electrochemical cell comprises of 2 REDOX half cells. These are made of a metal dipped in a solution of its own ions. One of these metals will corrode away to form ions and electrons- which form the basis of the electric current by acting as the cathode. Simply put, an electrochemical cell goes flat because there's no more metal left to break down, thus it goes flat.
What are large blocks of crust called?
plates There are continental plates (thick and made of granite) and oceanic plates (thin and made of basalt).
Is the crust made of tectonic plates?
Yes, it is made of tectonic plates and those plates have names e.g. Indo Australian plate, Eurasion plate
What is Made from melting plates?
Magma
What is a dead cell in a lead acid battery?
A dead cell in a lead acid battery is a cell that no longer produces electricity. Lead acid batteries contain a series of cells. These cells are like large flash light batteries. Each cell contain one plate made of lead and another made of lead oxide. They also contain sulphuric acid. As they are discharged the lead and lead oxide goes into solution. and when they are charged they are redeposited onto the plates. Eventually the charging system simply stops returning the lead to the plates or the cell shorts out. Then it stops producing electricity. When it stops working it is called dead.

What is glockenspiels made of?
Glockenspiel is made from metal plates (or tubes) and a wooden base. It is a a metallophone.
Is the glockenspiel made out of wood?
Glockenspiel is made from metal plates (or tubes) and a wooden base. It is a a metallophone.
Why are plates made out of clay?
Because it is cheap and plentiful. The alternatives historical were wood or metal, wood is not durable and metal was expensive.
What can the plates in a capacitor be made from?
Any conducting material. Thin metal foil is common.
What is a compensator plates?
Made up of plastic frame or metal in which optical elements are mounted.
What are metal plates made of that go into bodies?
There made of titanium, because its strong, and highly resistant to corrosion and rust.
What element is the metal plates in cars made of?
In batteries the plates are made of lead. Body panels are often made of the compounds steel or carbon fibre. Some manufacturers use body panels that are made from the element Aluminum.
Do metal plates hurt or cause discomfort to your head?
Metal plates can cause pain or discomfort in your head. It is usually rare to have pain associated with metal implants. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort due to metal plates in your head; seek immediate medical attention as this could be potentially dangerous.
