Galvanic (voltaic) cell:
- Converts the chemical energy of a spontaneous redox reaction into electrical energy; the cell itself is the source of current (, ).
- The anode (oxidation) is the negative electrode and the cathode (reduction) is the positive electrode.
Electrolytic cell:
- Converts electrical energy supplied by an external source into chemical energy, driving a non-spontaneous redox reaction ( for the cell reaction without the external EMF). …
