We report the observation of strange nonchaotic attractors in an electrochemical cell. The system parameters were chosen such that the system observable (anodic current) exhibits fixed point behavior or period one oscillations. These autonomous dynamics were thereafter subjected to external quasiperiodic forcing. Systematically varying the characteristics (frequency and amplitude) of the superimposed external signal; quasiperiodic, chaotic and strange nonchaotic behaviors in the anodic current were generated. The inception of strange nonchaotic attractors was verified using standard diagnostic techniques.
