Examples

Conversely, if the measured potential is negative, the electrode is more oxidizing than the SHE (such as Zn in ZnSO 4 where the standard electrode potential is −0.76 V). Source: Internet

In a cell, there will be an electrode potential for the cathode, and an electrode potential for the anode. Source: Internet

In principle the voltage required to electrolyze a salt solution can be derived from the standard electrode potential for the reactions at the anode and cathode. Source: Internet
