Abstract: In this experiment, we prepared, characterized, and utilized PtBi supported on carbon cloth as a self-supporting electrode for electro-oxidation applications. The aim was to promote the integration of science and education and foster the development of innovative talents. Through this experiment, students can gain a better understanding of electrochemical devices and energy conversion in Physical Chemistry, as well as catalyst performance evaluation criteria. It also aims to stimulate students’ interest in scientific research and equip them with essential laboratory skills such as the preparation, characterization, and electrochemical testing of nanomaterials. This experiment aims to enhance students’ scientific literacy and improve their ability to analyze performance data, comprehend electro-oxidation reaction processes, and understand electrode processes using electrochemical and kinetic concepts.

Key words: Carbon cloth, PtBi catalyst, Electro-oxidation, Comprehensive chemical experiment
