What is the difference between Electrochemical and Electrolytic cells?

Answer: Electrochemical and Electrolytic cells, Electrochemical and Electrolytic cells

Electrochemical cell

  • It converts chemical energy (of a redox reaction) into electrical energy.
  • At the electrodes, a spontaneous redox reaction takes place.
  • It makes the electrodes of dissimilar metals.
  • Each electrode is dipped in an electrolytic solution of its own ions.
  • A Salt bridge is used.
  • An anode is a negative electrode, and a cathode is a positive electrode of the cell.

Electrolytic cell

  • It converts electrical energy (from an external source) into chemical energy.
  • At the electrodes, a non‐spontaneous redox reaction takes place only when electrical energy is supplied.
  • It may make the electrodes of the same or different metals.
  • Both the electrodes are inserted in the same electrolyte solution.
  • The salt bride is not used.
  • The anode is a positive electrode, and the cathode is the negative electrode of the cell.
