An electrolyzer is a vessel (or system of vessels) filled with an electrolyte, in which electrodesâa cathode and anodeâhave been placed; the cathode is connected to the negative pole of the direct-current source and the anode is connected to the positive pole.
An electrolytic cell is an electrochemical cell that undergoes a redox reaction when electrical energy is applied. It is most often used to decompose chemical compounds, in a process called electrolysisâthe Greek word lysis means to break up. When electrical energy is added to the system, the chemical energy is increased. Similarly to a galvanic cell, electrolytic cells usually consist of two half cells. Important examples of electrolysis are the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen, and bauxite into aluminium and other chemicals.
