Abstract

Experiments involving electrochemical cells are of great pedagogical value for learners of introductory chemistry. This paper discusses an improved experimental kit made from a 24-well cell culture plate and a 3D-printed scaffold. The current design focuses not only on the accuracy of the result but also on the intuitiveness of the wiring work and measurement of the cell potential. Half-cells in this kit include metal ion|metal electrodes (Ag⁺|Ag, Cu²⁺|Cu, Fe²⁺|Fe, Mg²⁺|Mg, Ni²⁺|Ni, Pb²⁺|Pb, Sn²⁺|Sn, and Zn²⁺|Zn) and gas electrodes (Cl^-|Cl₂|Pt, H⁺|H₂|Pt, and O^2-|O₂|Pt) as well as Br^-|Br₂|Pt and I^-|I₂|Pt. Cells are combined in a series circuit to light an LED or sound a buzzer. This kit can be used to enhance teaching and learning activities involving electrochemistry at the senior secondary school and first-year university levels.
