Farady's law are derived for electrolysis. My question is the same rule can be applied in the analysis of electrochemical cell? I think those two cell (electrolytic and electrochemical) are just opposite functional to each other.

Yes, you can use it to calculate the amount of electrode consumed in generating a certain current.
