they can not provide a controlleble dc outut voltage.
Uncontrolled rectification is rectification whose baise is not controlled by a gate signal.
uncontrolled wave rectification is achieved using a single diode in a one phase supply, or by using three diodes in a three phase supply. In uncontrolled wave rectification, either the positive or negative half of the AC wave is passed or the other half is blocked. Since only one half of the input waveform reaches the output, it is very incompetent if used for power transfer. A controlled wave rectifier uses a thyristor instead of a diode, therefore the firing angle can be adjusted with a gate pulse.
such a control rectifier that control or rectifier single phase. for that purpose we used SCR that is called single phase controlled rectifier.
Limitations: 1.)It Can be utilized as rectifier as a part of DC Power Supplies. 2.)In Demodulation or Detector Circuits. 3.)In clasping systems utilized as DC Restorers 4.)In section circuits utilized for waveform era. 5.)As switches in computerized rationale circuits.
Nothing will happen to the diode but that rectifier effectively becomes a half-wave rectifier.

yes ofcourse diode can be used as rectifier but it's an uncontrolled rectification.
A simple rectifier is a diode. It only has two terminals and will only allow electron flow in one direction only. A controlled rectifier (SCR=silicon controlled rectifier) has a third connection (gate). Which as the name suggests, is a gate that controls at which point the rectifier will work. It therefore has a level of control.There are various types and you would need the application specification, to get the best use of them.

silicon controlled rectifier is a 3 terminal 4 layer device which has 2 consecutive P N junctions here the three terminals called anode, cathode and gate gate controls the conduction of the scr but diode just conducts in forward bias and blocks in reverse bias
bridge rectifier is the best rectifier.
Working the rectifier
such a control rectifier that control or rectifier single phase. for that purpose we used SCR that is called single phase controlled rectifier.

Bridge Rectifier DiodesIn a "bridge" rectifier there is 4 diodes In a "full wave" there are 2 diodes.In a "half wave" rectifier there is 1 diode.
Nothing will happen to the diode but that rectifier effectively becomes a half-wave rectifier.
when rectifier is on, the capacitor is almost transparent (it charges to the voltage provided from the rectifier) when rectifier is off, capacitor holds the peak voltage since it stored a charge during rectifier on time.
