electrochemically = electrochemical (transparent) = electro + chem + ical + ly
The adverb is a straightforward -ly formation from the adjective 'electrochemical'.
Etymology
Electrochemically comes from the parts electro- meaning 'electricity' and chem- meaning 'chemistry', as in electric and chemical. So, to do something electrochemically is to use electricity to make a chemical change, for example when a battery is charged.
