The process of conversion of AC into DC is known as rectification device used for this purpose is called as rectifier.A PN diode conducts well when it is forward biased and does not conduct Negligible current when it is reverse biased.This unidirectional nature of diode is used for the purpose of rectification.
the current flows in one direction only
gunn diode is transfered electron device & PIN diode is semiconductor device
A diode mainly consists of only 2 terminals(anode,cathode).A SCR mainly contains one more terminal called GATE.The main purpose of the gate in an SCR is just to provide pulses.The main draw back of SCR is it is not fully controllable device.
A passive device is a diode resistor coil and so forth it perform no enhancement to the circuit or act on it.
Its not, a diode is unidirectional.
A diode is unidirectional because of the diode only conduct in forwardbias .As you know the diode have two terminal cathode and anode . and when the positive terminal of battery connected to the p-side and other terminal connected to the other terminal of diode then diode is called forward biased . and when it connection is just opposite then it become in reverse biased . so we can finally say that the diode is unidirectional
The SCR and TRIAC are essentially controlled diodes.

Unidirectional TVS: A TVS device with asymmetrical current versus voltage (I−V) properties. A unidirectional TVS is best suited for protecting circuit nodes whose signals are unidirectional or always above or below the reference voltage, usually ground. Bidirectional TVS: A TVS device with symmetrical I−V properties. A bidirectional TVS is best suited for protecting electrical nodes whose signals are bidirectional or can have voltage levels both above and below the reference voltage, usually ground
