Answer:
An electrolytic cell is an electrochemical cell that uses electrical energy to drive a non-spontaneous redox reaction. It is often used to decompose chemical compounds, in a process called electrolysis—the Greek word lysis means to break up. Important examples of electrolysis are the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen, and bauxite into aluminium and other chemicals. Electroplating (e.g., of copper, silver, nickel or chromium) is done using an electrolytic cell. Electrolysis is a technique that uses a direct electric current (DC).
