How to polish your electrode

Clean electrodes are critical for electrochemistry experiments. Electrochemists have been polishing electrodes for decades trying to create a clean conductive surface. This is a step-by-step tutorial on how to polish your electrode. We go over the physical technique and the equipment needed to perform polishing. Many different research groups also have different polishing techniques depending on the electrode. This video is meant to be a general and entertaining guide to polishing electrodes.
