electrolytic
Charged solution process
Electrolytic describes processes or devices involving electrolysis—the use of electric current to drive chemical reactions.
An electrolytic cell uses electricity to decompose compounds; electrolytic capacitors store charge using a chemical electrolyte.
The word appears in industrial contexts: electrolytic refining purifies metals like copper and aluminum.
