An electrolytic cell uses electrical energy to drive a non-spontaneous redox reaction. An electrolytic cell is a kind of electrochemical cell. ... The electrolyte is usually a solution of water or other solvents in which ions are dissolved. Molten salts such as sodium chloride are also electrolytes.
An electrolytic cell has three component parts: an electrolyte and two electrodes (a cathode and an anode). The electrolyte is usually a solution of water or other solvents in which ions are dissolved. Molten salts such as sodium chloride are also electrolytes.
