Electrode potential appears at the interface between an electrode and electrolyte due to the transfer of charged species across the interface, specific adsorption of ions at the interface, and specific adsorption/orientation of polar molecules, including those of the solvent.

Electrode Potential is the electric potential on an electrode component. In a cell, there will be an electrode potential for the cathode, and an electrode potential for the anode. The difference between the two electrode potentials equals the cell potential. The electrode potentials value does not depend on the species in the reaction, therefor the electrode potential for a half reaction of 2Cu2+(aq)+4e- -> 2Cu(s) has the same electrode potential as Cu2+ (aq) +2e-  -> Cu (s)
