Abstract: Despite the rapid advancement of microelectrode technology and its incorporation into theoretical chemistry textbooks, there remains a significant gap in experimental teaching materials. To bridge this gap and foster a more effective integration between experimental pedagogy and cutting-edge electrochemical research, we have developed an innovative microelectrode teaching experiment. This experiment begins with a straightforward carbon fiber microelectrode fabrication process and employs a comparative learning approach to integrate multidimensional knowledge ranging from electrode processes to performance analysis. Furthermore, we have introduced a trial-and-error teaching methodology to enhance students’ independent exploratory skills, thereby contributing to the cultivation of exceptional talents.
