ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Mixed metal oxide electrode

Okay, let me explain a mixed metal oxide electrode like you're 5 years old. Imagine you have a toy block made up of different colors - red, blue, and green. When you play with this block, you can see all the colors mixed together in one place, right?

A mixed metal oxide electrode works the same way. It's like a toy block made up of different metals mixed together. These metals are mostly iridium and ruthenium. When we use this electrode, we can see both metals working together to do a job.

This job is to help electricity flow from one place to another. The mixed metal oxide electrode helps make this happen by letting the electricity jump from one metal to the other. Just like you jump from one toy block to the other when you play.

So, in conclusion, a mixed metal oxide electrode is like a toy block made up of different metals that work together to help electricity flow.
