At the cathode, a reduction reaction occurs during electrochemical processes, such as in batteries or electrolytic cells. Electrons flow into the cathode from an external circuit, causing the reduction of cations (positively charged ions) that migrate towards it. This process often results in the deposition of material, such as metal ions gaining electrons to form solid metal. In summary, the cathode is where reduction takes place, facilitated by incoming electrons.
