I'm guessing that the positive electrode would attract electrons, creating a region of alkalinity from OH- ions. The negative electrode would repel electrons creating a region populated by a surplus of H+. Does that sound right?

Does anybody know off the top of their head what end of the batteries goes on the area to be treated with a microelectricitygermkiller-style Godzilla? Off to try to dig up those answers...
