It is a cell that contains an electrolyte in which an electrochemical reaction produces an electromotive force.

An electrolytic cell
Yes, electrolytic cells require salt bridges for their operation. Salt bridges help maintain electrical neutrality by allowing ions to flow between the two half-cells, preventing the buildup of charge and enabling the cell to function properly.
They are nonspontaneous
An electrolytic cell uses electrical energy to drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction, typically involving the decomposition of compounds, while a galvanic (or voltaic) cell generates electrical energy from spontaneous chemical reactions. In an electrolytic cell, the anode is positive and the cathode is negative, whereas in a galvanic cell, the anode is negative and the cathode is positive. Additionally, electrolytic cells require an external power source, while galvanic cells operate independently by harnessing the energy from chemical reactions.
Porous pots are used in electrolytic cells to separate the two half-cells while allowing ion flow between them. This helps prevent mixing of the electrolytes and enables the cell to function properly. It also helps maintain the concentration gradients needed for the electrolytic process.
