A z-diode is a diode that works almost the same as a normal ordinary diode. It has the same forward voltage drop.
The trick is that it has got a reverse voltage through point.
Z-Diodes comes with a lot of different values. Some 3.3Volt. Others 5.6, 7.2, 11.3 Volt.
The function of these diodes is that they will start conducting electricity the other way (reverse) if the voltage is higher than what it is marked for.
One particular use for this is as a voltage regulator. It can be used in series with a resistor in order to create a semi stable reference point of voltage. Together with an OpAmp, this can be utilized in order to regulate voltage very accurately.
A zener diode can also be used to protect logic low volt circuitry from high volt signals.
It has got many uses and only our imagination prevents us from finding more uses.

Can diode be used as rectifier?
yes ofcourse diode can be used as rectifier but it's an uncontrolled rectification.
What type of diode is used as a variable capacitor?
varactor diode is a correct answer
Is it pn junction diode used as voltage regulator?
zener diode
What type of diode is a HVR-1X4 diode?
It's a high voltage diode, typically used in microwave ovens.
What does BY stand for in the name of the diode BY127?
The first letter B indicates what the diode is made of, i.e. B stands for Silicon, hence it is a Silicon diode in this case (it could have been a Germanium diode if the first letter was A instead of B). And the second letter, Y in this case stands for the function of the diode, i.e. Rectifier (As these diodes are often used in rectifier circuits). Other second alphabets could be A, B, or Z which stand for separate functions (which I don't remember at the moment).
What is the difference between p n junction and zener diode?
The difference between the pn-junction diode and the zener diode is that the pn-junction diode is used for rectification while the zener diode is used for rectification and stabilization. Also, the zener diode can function in the breakdown region while the pn-juntion diode can not function in that regime.
What is use of the diode?
The use of the pn diode is for rectification. It can also be used as a switch.
