Recipe idea 2
1. Paint transparent PVC cement on some aluminum foil, both sides. Wait for it to cure, leave a piece unpainted.
2. Soak the painted par in sodium hydroxide to turn PVC cement into polyacetylene.
3. Electroplate it with a thin layer of copper or something.
4. Cut some leaves out of it, the unpainted part is one electrode, the painted and electroplated is the second electrode.
