Voltaic Cells
A voltaic cell is a device that produces an electric current from energy released by a spontaneous redox reaction in two half-cells.

Electrolytic Cells
Electrolysis uses electrical energy to induce a chemical reaction, which then takes place in an electrolytic cell.

Electrochemical Cell Notation
Cell notation is shorthand that expresses a certain reaction in an electrochemical cell.
