Electroplating requires attention and care. I require some nickle electrodes for use in experimental supercapaciot design. A section of freshly prepared copper was carried out with a cooper pad. It was then cleaned with 95% ethanol. I then dip in 2M HCl to create some surface area. 5V/ 1.1 amp electroplating bath with nickel acetate/ vinegar and some sodium chloride. I use a nickle rod as sacrificial anode. About 30 minutes per side.
I will pair a circular piece in a cylinder with circular grafoil and the separator is solid activated carbon/ graphite in a cylinder with aq. K2SOY electrolyte. I introduce students to this research with this simply constructed unit to get things started in research.
I will post a V/current profile in a few weeks.
