What an electrochemical cell does

Labelled zinc-copper electrochemical cell showing zinc anode, copper cathode, electron flow through the wire, and ion movement in the salt bridge An electrochemical cell uses a spontaneous redox reaction to push electrons through an external wire. Splitting the reaction into two half-cells turns chemical change into a measurable voltage.
