What is your anode(-) made of and what electrolyte are you using @d3xor

What is your anode(-) made of and what electrolyte are you using @d3xor

graphite plates ....one up in chunks ... aluminum sheeting ... calcium bicarbonate

the aluminum is negative

[profitis]

This is galvanic corrosion without a doubt.aluminum is way too reactive to use in a karpen cell you will see gradual pitting of the anode under microscope.I'm going to give you one of my secrets to try out if you want d3xor then you will be ahead of murray on youtube but you will need to get hold of a chunk of pyrolusite mineral(MnO2) and large piece of nickel coin or spoon or sheet.

Hmm Yes I might see that.
also it seems I can just use native tap water.
might be able to observe a faster decay with thin strips of aluminum foil


Edit: can you give me a rough sketch of the reaction and products?
