We all know it is possible to generate plasma in mid air like lightning, but is it possible to isolate out the electrons from the gas and group them together with just the electrons?

To a very limited extent, yes. It's more difficult to confine them because you don't have an overall neutral configuration as you have in a plasma, so the electrostatic repulsion will quickly get very large as you add electrons.
