In the context of water electrolysis, stainless steel and platinum are the recommended metals for use as anodes and cathodes due to their corrosion resistance. The discussion emphasizes that since no salt will be added, chlorine corrosion is not a concern. Stainless steel is a practical choice, while platinum offers superior durability but may be less accessible. These materials ensure longevity and effectiveness in electrolysis applications.
