Question for people who have made coin cells: Electrolyte placement.
I'm doing a project which requires me to make lithium coin cells.
The way I've been adding the electrolyte is putting half the volume on one side of my separator, flipping it, placing that into the cell casing, then adding the other half (40 & 40 uL, for 80 uL total).
However, this has the issue of it simply being difficult to move and control the separator reliably. Glovebox mobility is already limited so moving these around is hell.
I wanted to ask anyone with experience in the field. Do you bother doing this? Or do you just put the full volume onto one side of the separator and let it be?
Also. If you all have any tips to make it less torturous to move everything within there, or just operating a glove box in general, I'd love to hear it!. (I think my main current issue I'm having is mainly just my tweezers used are 3D printed and have bad grip strength to them.)
