Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell.
Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell. This is where cations in the electrolyte solution gain electrons and get reduced, leading to the deposition of a substance onto the cathode.
Cathode
Electrolytic reduction is a process where a chemical compound is reduced (gains electrons) using electricity as the driving force. This occurs at the cathode of an electrolytic cell when a voltage is applied, causing a reaction to take place. This method is often used for extracting metals from their ores.

In the electrolytic cell, electrons flow from the negative terminal (cathode) to the positive terminal (anode). This flow allows for the oxidation of ions at the anode and the reduction of ions at the cathode, resulting in the desired chemical reactions to occur.
A nonspontaneous redox reaction is driven by an external source of electrical energy, such as a battery, when a current passes through the electrolytic cell. In an electrolytic cell, the anode is positive and the cathode is negative; electrons flow from the anode to the cathode, and oxidation occurs at the anode while reduction occurs at the cathode.
The electrode where reduction occurs.
At the cathode of the electrolytic cell with zinc and aluminum electrodes, the reduction of aluminum ions into aluminum metal will occur. Aluminum ions gain electrons to form solid aluminum metal, while zinc remains unchanged as it does not participate in the reaction at the cathode.
