the best liquid conductor I've used is dilute sulfuric acid, unfortuntely it
dissolves all metals in a short amount of time depending on concenration.
copper sulphate is probably the next best that won't eat electrodes (at
least not in a matter of minutes). Anything that makes lots of fee ions will
work, though some are better or more toxic than others.
