Electrolytic Voltaic Cells - Nelson's Cell , Daniel Cell Explained by Tariq Pathan Electrolytic cells convert electrical energy to chemical energy, so they are the opposite of voltaic cells. They require an input of electrical energy to cause an oxidation-reduction reaction. ... In a voltaic cell, the anode is the negatively charged electrode, while the cathode is the positively charged electrode. Nelson's Cell: It is an electrolytic cell , which is used commonly in electrolytic processes like production of sodium hydroxide from brine solution. In the cell, there is a U shaped perforated steel tube, which has asbestos coating in its inner surface. The Daniell Cell: The Daniell cell is a type of electrochemical cell invented in 1836 by John Frederic Daniell, a British chemist and meteorologist, and consists of a copper pot filled with a copper (II) sulfate solution, in which is immersed an unglazed earthenware container filled with sulfuric acid and a zinc electrode.
