What are your thoughts on this? What voltage and current are typical of the electrolysis process? What is the relationship between voltage, current and capacitance for a capacitor?
 
Offhand I would say no because a capacitor is used for short term storage not to include an electrolytic but probably you would need some type of battery with a recharging circuit.
