Electroplating is a process that uses electric current to reduce dissolved metal cations so that they form a coherent metal coating on an electrode. The term is also used for electrical oxidation of anions onto a solid substrate, as in the formation silver chloride on silver wire to make silver/silver-chloride electrodes. Electroplating is primarily used to change the surface properties of an object (e.g. abrasion and wear resistance, corrosion protection, lubricity, aesthetic qualities, etc.), but may also be used to build up thickness on undersized parts or to form objects by electroforming.
The process used in electroplating is called electrodeposition. It is analogous to a galvanic cellacting in reverse. The part to be plated is the cathode of the circuit. In one technique, the anode is made of the metal to be plated on the part. Both components are immersed in a solution called an electrolyte containing one or more dissolved metal salts as well as other ions that permit the flow of electricity. A power supply supplies a direct current to the anode, oxidizing the metal atoms that it comprises and allowing them to dissolve in the solution. At the cathode, the dissolved metal ions in the electrolyte solution are reduced at the interface between the solution and the cathode, such that they "plate out" onto the cathode. The rate at which the anode is dissolved is equal to the rate at which the cathode is plated, vis-a-vis the current through the circuit. In this manner, the ions in the electrolyte bath are continuously replenished by the anode.

Learn the basics about electroplating.
The anode is positively charged, and the cathode is negatively charged. They are immersed in a solution called an electrolyte.
The electrolyte and the anode are selected based upon the material that you are electroplating with. So if you want to create a copper plate on the cathode, you would use a copper anode and a copper based electrolyte solution.
When the battery is turned on, the positively charged ions in the electrolyte are attracted to the cathode. Here, they gain electrons which is known as reduction.
When the battery is turned on, the negatively charged ions in the electrolyte solution are attracted to the anode. The atoms within the anode, so the copper atoms in copper ...

The recipe for basic electroplating.
1. Vinegar. 2. A dash of salt. 3. A piece of whatever metal you plan to use.
I recommend starting with Nickel.
I don’t know what other metals will work or not. Experiment like a mad scientist and find out. Just be careful around chemicals.
I don’t think there is anything particularly nasty about the nickel, copper, or zinc solutions. But I’m not a chemist so use your own judgment. I wear gloves and don’t go out of my way to breath the fumes. There will be a small amount of chlorine gas produced by the salt. Just don’t be a dork and you’ll live through it.
A couple of notes…
Don’t try and plate over zinc plated parts with anything other than zinc. The zinc will destroy the nickel/copper solutions. I mean, don’t let me stop you experimenting, but that’...

Electroplating
How does electroplating work? It is a process where you usually take an object made of one type of metal, and cover it with a thin layer of another type of metal. Usually, precious metals like gold, silver, or platinum are the metals that are electroplated. In an electroplating cell, electrons are removed from one of the metals, which is an oxidation process that happens at the anode. This causes the metal to develop a charge turn into an ion, and allows it to dissolve in the solution. Then, at the cathode, reduction takes place, and the metal ion turns into a neutral atom, and sticks to the surface of the other metal.

Learn the basics about electroplating.
The anode is positively charged, and the cathode is negatively charged. They are immersed in a solution called an electrolyte.
The electrolyte and the anode are selected based upon the material that you are electroplating with. So if you want to create a copper plate on the cathode, you would use a copper anode and a copper based electrolyte solution.
When the battery is turned on, the positively charged ions in the electrolyte are attracted to the cathode. Here, they gain electrons which is known as reduction.
When the battery is turned on, the negatively charged ions in the electrolyte solution are attracted to the anode. The atoms within the anode, so the copper atoms in copper plating, lose electrons which is known as oxidation. These copper atoms are now positively charged and dissolve into the electrolyte solution. Once in the electrolyte solution, because they are now positively charged they are attracted over to the negative cathode. Hence electroplating the cathode.
The electrons flow from the anode to the cathode.
Half equations occur at each anode, with oxidation at the anode and reduction at the cathode.
Just remember, oxidation is loss of electrons and reduction is gain.

A couple of notes…
Don’t try and plate over zinc plated parts with anything other than zinc. The zinc will destroy the nickel/copper solutions. I mean, don’t let me stop you experimenting, but that’s probably what will happen.
Be careful around stainless steel. It contains chromium. I don’t know what happens when you try this with stainless, but best not to mess with anything that might contain chromium.
For that matter, real chrome plating at home is out of the question unless you have a death wish. Hexavalent
Chromium, which is what’s used for electroplating, is really nasty stuff. A cobalt/nickel mix is a close enough visual match for chrome plating.
When you’re ready to step up to a kit, for New Zealand and Australia, I recommend Jane Kits. For the rest of the world, google Caswell Plating.

▶️ Get supplies for this copper plating experiment: https://www.beardedscienceguy.com/how-to-do-copper-electroplating
▶️ How to do copper plating/electroplating:
Step 1: Pour 1 liter of warm water into a 1000 mL beaker. The warmer, the better because more copper sulfate will be able to dissolve into the solution.
Step 2: Add 200-300 grams of copper sulfate.
Step 3: Stir until completely dissolved in solution.
Step 4: With the 9-volt battery, connect a red alligator clip to the positive terminal and a black alligator clip to the negative terminal.
Step 5: Connect the loose end of the red alligator clip to a spare piece of copper, such as the copper wire coil we used here (anode).
Step 6: Connect the loose end of the black alligator clip to a separate piece of copper holding the coin (cathode).
Step 7: Carefully place the anode and cathode in solution and observe.
REMINDER: Be sure to keep them at least 3 centimeters apart so you don't overheat the battery with a short circuit.
▶️ How electroplating science works:
The flow of electrons creates an oxidation-reduction reaction. This causes copper from the anode to enter the solution and copper from the solution to deposit on the quarter. The copper will plate the quarter within 5 to 10 minutes, depending on a few variables such as the temperature of the solution, the concentration of copper sulfate, and the voltage and current coming from the battery.

The recipe for basic electroplating.
1. Vinegar. 2. A dash of salt. 3. A piece of whatever metal you plan to use.
I recommend starting with Nickel.
I don’t know what other metals will work or not. Experiment like a mad scientist and find out. Just be careful around chemicals.
I don’t think there is anything particularly nasty about the nickel, copper, or zinc solutions. But I’m not a chemist so use your own judgment. I wear gloves and don’t go out of my way to breath the fumes. There will be a small amount of chlorine gas produced by the salt. Just don’t be a dork and you’ll live through it.
A couple of notes…
Don’t try and plate over zinc plated parts with anything other than zinc. The zinc will destroy the nickel/copper solutions. I mean, don’t let me stop you experimenting, but that’s probably what will happen.
Be careful around stainless steel. It contains chromium. I don’t know what happens when you try this with stainless, but best not to mess with anything that might contain chromium.
For that matter, real chrome plating at home is out of the question unless you have a death wish. Hexavalent
Chromium, which is what’s used for electroplating, is really nasty stuff. A cobalt/nickel mix is a close enough visual match for chrome plating.
When you’re ready to step up to a kit, for New Zealand and Australia, I recommend Jane Kits. For the rest of the world, google Caswell Plating.

How does electroplating work? It is a process where you usually take an object made of one type of metal, and cover it with a thin layer of another type of metal. Usually, precious metals like gold, silver, or platinum are the metals that are electroplated. In an electroplating cell, electrons are removed from one of the metals, which is an oxidation process that happens at the anode. This causes the metal to develop a charge turn into an ion, and allows it to dissolve in the solution. Then, at the cathode, reduction takes place, and the metal ion turns into a neutral atom, and sticks to the surface of the other metal.
Electroplating is the process of covering an object with a thin layer of metal by electrochemical deposition.
In this video we try to explain the base principle behind this fascinating process.

In this science experiment, I'll show you how to make a copper quarter using electroplating and explain the chemical reactions behind this cool science project. The longer you let it run, the thicker the copper layer will be, as detailed in Faraday's Law of Electrolysis.

▶️ How to do copper plating/electroplating:
Step 1: Pour 1 liter of warm water into a 1000 mL beaker. The warmer, the better because more copper sulfate will be able to dissolve into the solution.
Step 2: Add 200-300 grams of copper sulfate.
Step 3: Stir until completely dissolved in solution.
Step 4: With the 9-volt battery, connect a red alligator clip to the positive terminal and a black alligator clip to the negative terminal.
Step 5: Connect the loose end of the red alligator clip to a spare piece of copper, such as the copper wire coil we used here (anode).
Step 6: Connect the loose end of the black alligator clip to a separate piece of copper holding the coin (cathode).
Step 7: Carefully place the anode and cathode in solution and observe.
REMINDER: Be sure to keep them at least 3 centimeters apart so you don't overheat the battery with a short circuit.
▶️ How electroplating science works:
The flow of electrons creates an oxidation-reduction reaction. This causes copper from the anode to enter the solution and copper from the solution to deposit on the quarter. The copper will plate the quarter within 5 to 10 minutes, depending on a few variables such as the temperature of the solution, the concentration of copper sulfate, and the voltage and current coming from the battery.

Electroplating is a process that uses electric current to reduce dissolved metal cations so that they form a coherent metal coating on an electrode. The term is also used for electrical oxidation of anions onto a solid substrate, as in the formation silver chloride on silver wire to make silver/silver-chloride electrodes. Electroplating is primarily used to change the surface properties of an object (e.g. abrasion and wear resistance, corrosion protection, lubricity, aesthetic qualities, etc.), but may also be used to build up thickness on undersized parts or to form objects by electroforming.
The process used in electroplating is called electrodeposition. It is analogous to a galvanic cellacting in reverse. The part to be plated is the cathode of the circuit. In one technique, the anode is made of the metal to be plated on the part. Both components are immersed in a solution called an electrolyte containing one or more dissolved metal salts as well as other ions that permit the flow of electricity. A power supply supplies a direct current to the anode, oxidizing the metal atoms that it comprises and allowing them to dissolve in the solution. At the cathode, the dissolved metal ions in the electrolyte solution are reduced at the interface between the solution and the cathode, such that they "plate out" onto the cathode. The rate at which the anode is dissolved is equal to the rate at which the cathode is plated, vis-a-vis the current through the circuit. In this manner, the ions in the electrolyte bath are continuously replenished by the anode.
