BRICK ELECTRODES

So the slightly expensive food grade stainless steel was devoured by the vicious electrified alkaline solution. So I'm now trying to throw a brick at the problem... infused with graphite and graphene. The porous brick present massive surface area for the nanocarbon infuse. I started 4 ounces of potassium silicate ProTek solution; 11% potassium silicate; .88 ounces. I added 4 ounces of water.  I put 1 teaspoon of nanographite powder into the bottle and agitated until uniform appearance. I then added 4 ounces of water and 4 ounces of Pronto brush cleaner because xylol has been outlawed here. Placed a brick which I have cut to provide a convenient shape and drilled for electrical fitting. Hoping for graphene formation infiltration and bonding to the brick.

I'm actually needing to get the kiln going since I'm figuring on infusing the n carbon then baking it out before using it.

I also have some nickel foil I may have to cut a thin strip off of to make the electrical connection.

After sitting in the plastic bottle tank overnight the nanographite appears well suspended colloidal in solution. Not sure what the white layer is that seems to be a reaction with the Pronto brush cleaner, possibly immiscible hydrocarbons. I will connect two bubbler air pumps to thoroughly agitate and mix the solutions

Here are the finished brick electrodes with graphite terminals
