elektrolytickém

Elektrolytickým is the instrumental singular form of the Czech adjective elektrolytický, meaning electrolytic. In technical Czech, this form is used to describe actions performed by electrolysis or objects related to electrolytic processes, for example elektrolytickým proudem (by electrolytic current) or elektrolytickým způsobem (in an electrolytic manner).

In electrochemistry, electrolytic processes are chemical reactions driven by external electrical energy supplied to an electrolytic cell. Such cells contain electrodes submerged in an electrolyte and rely on a power source to force non-spontaneous reactions. The external circuit delivers electrons to the cathode and removes them from the anode, enabling transformations that would not occur spontaneously. This is contrasted with galvanic (voltaic) cells, where chemical energy drives the reactions without an external power supply.

Common applications of electrolytic processes include electroplating, where a metal is deposited onto a substrate; electrorefining of metals to increase purity; and the decomposition of compounds such as water to produce hydrogen and oxygen. Industrial chlor-alkali processes also rely on electrolytic cells to produce chlorine gas and caustic alkali solutions. In electronics, electrolytic capacitors are devices that use an electrolyte to achieve large capacitance values in a compact form; they are polarity sensitive and widely used in power supply circuits.

Terminology in Czech texts often employs elektrolytický and its instrumental form elektrolytickým to express actions and methods involving electrolysis or electrolytic components. The term is thus both a grammatical inflection and a technical descriptor across chemistry and electronics.
