The diode is an important part of a simple power supply. It converts AC to DC, since it:
allows electrons to flow in only one direction from cathode to anode
Diodes act as one-way valves for current (conventional current flows anode to cathode, electron flow is cathode to anode), which is the basis of rectification.
