In an electrochemical cell, electrons move spontaneously from anode to cathode.

In electrolytic cell, energy has be applied to make electrons move in the circuit.

Electrochemical cell are easy to create.

Where do chemical reactions occur in electrochemical cells?

Chemical reactions occur at the electrodes of electrochemical cells. At the anode, oxidation occurs as electrons are released into the circuit, and at the cathode, reduction occurs as electrons are accepted from the circuit. This flow of electrons creates an electric current in the cell.

Can the metal plates in an electrochemical cell be made of the same metal?

Historically, no, each metal has its own redox potential and it is the difference between them that causes the flow of electrons with the electrolyte carrying the charge in the cell and the circuit between the metals that carries them outside the cell. However, there are now cells that do not use the metals to create the electrochemical potentials where the metals are only conductors wherein the metals are where the electrochemical reactions take place, but are not reactants. These have to have a membrane between the two reaction compartments to keep the two reactants from reacting in solution or in the gaseous state. These are more often referred to as batteries in my opinion, or as fuel cells.

What is the difference between a wet and dry hho fuel cell?

The primary difference between wet and dry HHO fuel cells lies in their operating states regarding water presence. A wet HHO fuel cell uses a liquid electrolyte, which helps facilitate the electrochemical reaction, while a dry HHO fuel cell employs a solid or membrane electrolyte, resulting in a more compact and potentially more efficient design. Wet cells can be bulkier and may require more maintenance, whereas dry cells are typically easier to handle and maintain due to their solid-state components. However, both types aim to produce hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis for energy generation.
