We might as well be asking how to make stuff with chemicals. Your question needs to be much more specific.

For example could some soluble in water fuels to be nitrated with electrolisis? Like carbonhydrates.

"Nitrated with electrolysis" That is far too vague for me to be able to go anywhere with it.

This is just a random though and I don't know of any evidence to back this, but maybe it'll get you started. On the anode is a nitrate and the cathode
has what you would like to nitrate. Would it be possible for the nitrate to decompose and transfer the NO3 to the cathode? Since nitrates are
soluble in water, would it have to be something such as isopropyl alcohol?

Perhaps a solution of sodium methoxide and sodium nitrate could be electrolyzed, yielding some methyl peroxynitrate.

Electrolysis will produce nitrate radicals which will react with certain organics, eg olefins at the anode.

nitration by electrolysis
Hi, folks!
davis's excellent text mentions an electrolytic method for oxinite, an explosive based on ngl.
it uses platinum foil as anode and ca.no3 and hno3 as reagents.
there must be something better; i'm looking, i'm looking.

Anolyte electrolysis
Can someone tell me in what will KNO3 decompose if it will be electrolysed in an anolyte cell? (without the presence of the hydroxide)
