I’ve never really tried electrolysis with carbon; sounds like one of those arenas where graphenic structures would yield very significant and fruitful research opportunities.

The problem is the carbon doesn't want to react. It actually makes great electrode material because it generally does not react. What's needed is an oxidizer like ferrate or permanganate which can oxidize the C (becoming metal), but the electrolysis chemistry will re-generate it again. This is the part nobody has solved...
