Greetings. I started a new project, I am trying to establish a basic fabrication method so I can test different common household electrolytes when placed between two activated carbon electrode.

The main problem I am having is getting the activated carbon to adhere to the aluminum foil.
Suggestions welcome.

This is my first chemistry project and I only have access to common household items.
I am a fabricator and I just started to study chemistry. Skill level basic...

Do electrolytes have different size ions?

They sure do ! You can even look them up, e.g. here. For composite ions e.g. here
