Electrochemical reduction refers to a process in which an electrical current is used to decrease the positive charge or increase the negative charge of a substance in a chemical reaction. In simpler terms, it is a method to make certain chemicals gain electrons or lose positive charge using electricity.
Full definition
In solution, the salt dissociates into silver cations, allowing production of silver metal deposits by
electrochemical reduction reaction using solvated secondary electrons rather direct molecular decomposition.
For example, when the battery is recharged, the
overall electrochemical reduction reaction at the negative electrode is identical to the electrochemical oxidation reaction that proceeded at the negative electrode when the battery was discharged, only written in reverse.
