Charging a Fluid

$

Hello friends,

I am performing an experiment and need a charged fluid here are some questions I have, hopefully someone can help.

Can I create a charged fluid by taking distilled water, then adding NaCl (positive and negative charges), and then immersing the positive end of a voltage generator (set it to 5kiloVolts) in the fluid while grounding the negative end to ground and "extract electrons from fluid" (i guess in this case Cl-)" to make it positive?

If yes would it be better for me to ground the negative end of the voltage generator or not.

If no is there another way I can generate a charged fluid easier?

Secondly in order to maintain my fluid charged do i need to insulate it from air? Would it be easier to keep a positively charged fluid or negatively charged fluid?

Just to clarify by positive fluid i mean it has a positive net charge, like if i had pure water and put Ca+ in it so that the fluid is positively charged.

Thanks
