👉 Electrodesiccation, also known as electrolysis or electrodephosphorylation, is a process in which an electrical current is applied to electrodes containing a cation (e.g., sodium) that are immersed in solution. The purpose of this technique is to dissolve the substance being dissolved by applying electric potential differences across the electrode-catalyzed solutions. In this method, the cathode (copper or iron oxide) is used as an electrolyte while the positive electrode (
