Electrochemical Cell- Applications
Various applications of Electrochemical Cells are:
- Many nonferrous metals are electro-refined using electrolytic cells. They have also been used for the electrowinning of these metals.
- Electrolytic cells are used in the manufacturing of high-purity lead, zinc, aluminium, and copper.
- Metallic sodium may be recovered from molten sodium chloride by running an electric current across it in an electrolytic cell.
- Galvanic cells are used in the construction of many commercially important batteries (such as lead-acid batteries).
- Fuel cells are a type of electrochemical cell that can provide clean energy in a variety of remote settings.
