Differences Between Voltaic and Electrolytic Cells. -Voltaic cells use spontaneous reactions to produce energy-Electrolytic cells use non-spontaneous reactions that requires energy-Voltaic cells have a negative anode and a positive cathode-Electrolytic cells have a positive anode and a negative cathode.
An electrolytic cell is an electrochemical cell that drives a non-spontaneous redox reaction through the application of electrical energy. They are often used to decompose chemical compounds, in a process called electrolysisâthe Greek word lysis means to break up.
