Electrode vs Electrolyte. Electrolyte and electrode are two very important concepts discussed in the fields of electrochemistry. An electrolyte is basically a solution of ions. An electrode is a device that is used to create an electrical connection between a conductor and a non-conductor. Both of these concepts are widely used in fields such as electrolysis, metal plating, physical chemistry, thermodynamics and various other fields.
George Doyle/Getty Images. Electrolyte is a medical/scientific term for salts, specifically ions. The term electrolyte means that this ion is electrically-charged and moves to either a negative (cathode) or positive (anode) electrode :Another example where electrolyte drinks are important is when infants/children have chronic vomiting or diarrhea, perhaps due to intestinal flu viruses. When children vomit or have diarrhea, they lose electrolytes.
