  2. Electrolytic cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolytic_cell

    An electrolytic cell is an electrochemical cell that utilizes an external source of electrical energy to force a chemical reaction that would otherwise not occur. [ 1 ] : 64, 89 [ 2 ] : GL7 The external energy source is a voltage applied between the cell's two electrodes ; an anode (positively charged electrode) and a cathode (negatively ...

  3. Proton exchange membrane electrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_exchange_membrane...

    Proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis is the electrolysis of water in a cell equipped with a solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) [3] that is responsible for the conduction of protons, separation of product gases, and electrical insulation of the electrodes.

  4. Electrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis

    The quantity of the products is proportional to the current, and when two or more electrolytic cells are connected in series to the same power source, the products produced in the cells are proportional to their equivalent weight. These are known as Faraday's laws of electrolysis. Each electrode attracts ions that are of the opposite charge.

  5. Electrochemical cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_cell

    An electrolytic cell is an electrochemical cell in which applied electrical energy drives a non-spontaneous redox reaction. [5] A modern electrolytic cell consisting of two half reactions, two electrodes, a salt bridge, voltmeter, and a battery. They are often used to decompose chemical compounds, in a process called electrolysis.

  6. Chloralkali process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloralkali_process

    The diaphragm cell process and the mercury cell process have been used for over 100 years but are environmentally unfriendly through their use of asbestos and mercury, respectively. The membrane cell process, which was only developed in the past 60 years, is a superior method with its improved energy efficiency and lack of harmful chemicals. [5]

  7. Flow battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_battery

    A typical flow battery consists of two tanks of liquids which are pumped past a membrane held between two electrodes. [1]A flow battery, or redox flow battery (after reduction–oxidation), is a type of electrochemical cell where chemical energy is provided by two chemical components dissolved in liquids that are pumped through the system on separate sides of a membrane.

  8. Electrochlorination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochlorination

    The process of electrochlorination is a simple application based on the chloralkali process (in an unpartitioned cell). It is the electrolysis of saltwater to produce a chlorinated solution. The first step is removing any solids from the saltwater. Next, the saltwater streams through an electrolyzer cell's channel of decreasing thickness.

  9. Electrodialysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodialysis

    The cell consists of a feed (dilute) compartment and a concentrate compartment formed by an anion exchange membrane and a cation exchange membrane placed between two electrodes. In almost all practical electrodialysis processes, multiple electrodialysis cells are arranged into a configuration called an electrodialysis stack, with alternating ...
