	Electrolytic cell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Electrolytic cells are composed of a vessel containing electrolyte (usually a solution of water or other solvents capable of dissolving various ions into solution), and a cathode and anode.
		An Electrolytic cell is charged by applying electrical potential across the anode and cathode to force an internal chemical reaction between the ions in the solution and the anode and/or the cathode.
		In actual practice the anode and the cathode in an electrolytic cell swap functions during the charge portion of the cycle; ie - the electrode marked as anode for discharge is really acting as the cathode while charging and the electrode marked as cathode is actually acting as the anode during charging.

	SparkNotes: Electrolytic Cells: Electrolysis
		Though the direction of electron flow in electrolytic cells may be reversed from the direction of spontaneous electron flow in galvanic cells, the definition of both cathode and anode remain the same--reduction takes place at the cathode and oxidation occurs at the anode.
		Note that copper is spontaneously plated onto the copper cathode in the galvanic cell whereas it requires a voltage greater than 0.78 V from the battery to plate iron on its cathode in the electrolytic cell.
		The answer is that the electrolytic cell reaction is not the only one occurring in the system-the battery is a spontaneous redox reaction.

		Another characteristic of electrochemical cells is that the redox reaction may occur spontaneously (voltaic cell), or nonspontaneous reactions can be forced to occur (electrolytic cell).
		However, in an electrolytic cell, the electrons are being forced to move in a direction opposite of spontaneous.
		The standard cell potential is the difference between the reduction potential of the cathode and the reduction potential of the anode.

		A cell of this type, with aluminum as the anode and an electrolyte as a negative electrode or cathode, is used as a capacitor, with the aluminum oxide film separating them, acting as an extremely thin dielectric.
		The electrons in the electrolyte are in fact not free but are bound in ions, although the powerful electric field obtained can detach some of the electrons from the ions and transfer them to the insulating layer.
		Electrolytes of low conductivity or high specific resistance exhibit low leakage current due to the lack of or rather the reduced number of ions but such electrolytes have the drawback that they increase the resistance effectively in series with the capacitor.

		The cleaning continues until the electrolyte is exhausted or the activity of the zinc abates.
		The anode is the positive terminal of the electrolytic cell, to which electrons, negatively charged ions, or colloidal particles, travel when an electric current is passed through the cell.
		Since an electrolytic cell for cleaning artifacts lacks the resistance of a battery, and the battery chargers generally do not have the necessary internal resistance controls to compensate for it, the chargers run well above their maximum safe operating amperage.
