Electrolytic Chemistry


Electrolytic chemistry is the study of the reaction and behavior of Ionic compound in electrolyte solutions on electrodes. Its research scope involves multiple disciplines such as chemistry, physics, and electronics. Electrolytic chemistry has a wide range of applications, such as electroplating, electrolytic oxygen production, electrolytic aluminum, electrolytic copper, etc.

Electrolytic chemical reaction is the process of applying an electric field to move both anions and cations in the electrolyte solution towards the two poles and participate in the reaction at the electrode. Under the action of an external electric field, accompanied by the migration of ionic solutes, chemical reactions occur on the electrode surface, usually releasing electrons to the anode and receiving electrons to the cathode.

Electrolytic chemistry is widely used, with the most famous being the production of aluminum and chlor alkali. Aluminum electrolysis is a method that uses the current in the Electrolytic cell to separate metal aluminum from aluminum oxide, while chlor alkali electrolysis is to electrolysis sodium chloride to produce hydrogen, chlorine and sodium hydroxide. In addition, electroplating and battery technology are also important application fields of electrolytic chemistry.
