This document, created by Pennsylvania State University and hosted by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Network, serves as a guide for a laboratory activity where students "assemble a simple apparatus capable of electrodeposition of nickel nano-wires, use the apparatus to deposit nickel into a pre-formed porous template, dissolve away the template and disperse the nano-wires in solution, and characterize the resulting structures with an SEM." The lab guide includes objectives, prerequisite knowledge required to complete the lab, an introduction to electrodeposition, step-by-step directions to the lab activity itself, and post-lab questions to test student comprehension. In order to access and download this material, users must complete a free registration.
