In this presentation, we report a new experimental approach to teach the essential concepts of electrochemistry and electroplating processes using screen printed electrode strips (similar to ones used as disposable blood glucose test strips). In the past, electroplating experiments were seldom included in general chemistry labs because of the difficulty of maintaining separate counter, reference, and working electrodes. Without any laborious electrode preparation, students can now easily learn to electroplate a wide variety of colorful metals on a disposable strip electrode within a standard lab period. The relatively light weight of individual carbon strip electrodes (< 0.5gram) facilitates a sensitive weight measurement of metal deposits, allowing for verification of Faraday's Law. We have electrochemically deposited Nickel (Ni) using Standard Watt's plating bath by the application of negative potential. Alternatively, similar deposition procedures can be handled using 1.5 V AA batteries in series as the power source. Bright white Ni metal was obtained with an average plating efficiency of 90 %. Also other metal deposits like Cu, Au, Ag and Pt was carried out using previously deposited Ni as the priming layer for better adhesion. Thus, we have demonstrated essential concepts in electrochemistry in students-friendly way of handling which may motivate students to further explore science and engineering behind the concept of electroplating.
