electrolytic cell
electrolytic celln.1. A cell containing an electrolyte through which an externally generated electric current is passed by a system of electrodes in order to produce an electrochemical reaction.2. A cell containing an electrolyte in which an electrochemical reaction produces an electromotive force.electrolytic cell n (Chemistry) any device in which electrolysis occurs. Sometimes shortened to: cell cell (sɛl)
n. 1. a small room, as in a convent or prison. 2. any of various small compartments or bounded areas forming part of a whole. 3. a usu. microscopic structure containing nuclear and cytoplasmic material enclosed by a semipermeable membrane and, in plants, a cell wall; the basic structural unit of all organisms. 4. a small group acting as a unit within a larger organization: a local cell of a political party. 5. a device that converts chemical energy into electricity, usu. consisting of two different kinds of conductors surrounded by an electrolyte; battery. 6. Also called electrolytic cell. a device for producing electrolysis, consisting essentially of the electrolyte, its container, and the electrodes. 7. a monastery or nunnery, dependent on a larger religious house. 8. one of the areas into which the wing of an insect is divided by the veins. 9. locule. 10. one of the separate areas covered by a radio transmitter in a cellular phone system. [before 1150; Middle English celle (< Old French), Old English cell < Medieval Latin cella monastic cell, Latin: room; see cella] e·lec·tro·lyt·ic cell (ĭ-lĕk′trə-lĭt′ĭk) A device containing two electrodes immersed in a solution of electrolytes, used to bring about a chemical reaction. Electrolytic cells require an outside source of electricity to initiate the movement of ions between the two electrodes where the chemical change takes place. They have many practical uses including the recovery of pure metal from alloys, and the plating of one metal with another.

Electrolytic Cell
electrolytic cell[i′lek·trə‚lid·ik ′sel] (physical chemistry) A cell consisting of electrodes immersed in an electrolyte solution, for carrying out electrolysis. Electrolytic Cell a vessel containing an electrolyte (or electrolytes) and equipped with electrodes and used for performing electrochemical reactions. The basic structural elements of industrial electrolyzers, electrolytic cells are also used by themselves, primarily in laboratory work to study electrode processes, perform electroanalytical measurements, and produce and purify compounds by electrolysis. Electrolytic cells vary considerably in design. In electrochemical work, electrolytic cells with three electrodes are ordinarily used: a working electrode, an auxiliary electrode, and a reference electrode. Complex electrolytic cells may also contain indicator electrodes. Special electrolytic cells must meet additional requirements; for example, they must provide for the possibility of conducting electrochemical studies in combination with other methods of physicochemical research. Electrolytic cells are also used in physical modeling; in particular, they are used to construct models of the electric field of electronic devices, such as electron tubes. A. N.
