Short Answer TypeElectrochemical cell: A device employed to convert the chemical energy of a redox reaction into electrical energy is called an electrochemical cell. It is also called the galvanic or voltaic cell.
Main requirements:
(i) A suitable redox reaction is carried out indirectly in two separate half-cells. The electrons are lost in one-half cell and gained in the other half cell.
(ii) The substance which loses the electrons and the one which accepts the electrons should not be in direct contact with each other. The electron transfer must take place through an external circuit.
