A diode is an electronic component with the characteristic that its resistance is not

constant, but depends on the magnitude of the current through it. An ideal diode has

zero resistance to current in one direction, and infinite resistance to current in the

reverse direction.

What is diode volve?

I think you mean 'diode valve'! A 'valve' is the British term for what Americans call 'tubes' or, more accurately, 'vacuum tubes'. So, a 'diode valve' is a thermionic valve generally used as a rectifier, much in the same way that a semiconducting diode is used, these days.
