2Safety Precautions

Use proper safety precautions when using hazardous electrode materials and electrolytes.

Wear protective glasses and gloves to protect you against electrolytes that may accidentally

spill out during filling and disassembly. Upon cell disassembly, dispose of all materials

properly. Metallic lithium and some insertion compounds may decompose heavily in contact

with water and other solvents and cause a fire.

3Assembly

Please note: All assembly steps will be carried out in an inert glove box atmosphere. All

components must be dried in a vacuum oven at 80°C (120°C for parts made of PPS) for at

least 12 hours.

3.1 Cell assembly for use with liquid electrolytes

Put the insulation sleeve onto the

worktop with the smaller side

pointing upwards.

Insert the lower electrode into the

sleeve with the active layer facing

downwards.

Attach the lower plunger. The

lower plunger is available in

different gap sizes to account for

the thickness of the lower

electrode and the separator used.

Release 1.0

Setup Guide PAT-Cell-Force

Align the contact spring of the

sleeve with the horizontal contact

pin inside the cell base. Then

insert the assembly into the cell

base.

Evenly dispense approx. 100 µL of

electrolyte on top of the

separator with a pipette. Note: The

optimum amount of electrolyte

will depend on the thickness and

porosity of the separator and the

electrodes used.

Insert the upper electrode into

the insulation sleeve with the

active layer facing downwards.

Attach the upper plunger.

3.2 Force adjustment and further assembly

Insert the cell assembly into the PAT

Socket of the PAT-Terminal-1.

Attach the lid inset and turn it

clockwise to lock it in place.

Use the provided torque controlled

screw driver to adjust the force

applied to the cell stack. The set force

is shown on the display of the PAT-

Terminal-1.

Please note: The set force may

decrease over time due to plastic

deformation of the materials used.

This is a normal behavior.

Please note: The PAT-Cell-Force

uses a special version of the upper

plunger with a smaller diameter, as

seen in the image.

Setup Guide PAT-Cell-Force

Remove the PAT-Cell-Force from the

PAT-Terminal-1 and insert it into the

cell assembly block for final steps.

Insert a new sealing ring to the lid. For

best tightness, use an aluminum seal.

Attach the lid. Use the Screw cap

torque wrench to tighten it until the

set torque is reached.

The PAT-Cell-Force is now fully

assembled and ready for testing.

4Disassembly and Cleaning

When working with aprotic, moisture-sensitive electrolytes such as LiPF6, it is best to always

leave the cell base and cell lid in the glove box and only expose the PAT core components to

room air for cleaning or disposal. Note that excess electrolyte may leak from the PAT-Core

and cause contamination in the cell base and on the contact pins. For standard electrodes and

standard separators use 100 μl electrolyte.

If the cell base or lid has been in contact with ambient air or if they are being used for the

first time, they must be dried in a vacuum at 80°C for at least 12 hours before use. Stainless

steel plungers can be cleaned with water, acetone, or ethanol. If necessary, persistent stains

can be removed from the plungers with aqueous nitric acid (20%, 2 hours at room

temperature).

Insulating sleeves made of PP are intended for single use. Insulating sleeves made of PEEK or

PPS can be cleaned with water, acetone, or ethanol and are reusable after careful drying

(120°C, vacuum, >12 hours).

Never immerse the cell base in liquid. In particular, avoid contact of the electronic

components on the bottom of the cell base with liquid.

NOTE:

•Protect yourself against chemical hazards. Electrolyte may spill out during cleaning.

Electrode materials and electrolytes may react with ambient atmosphere orsolvents

used for cleaning. Wear appropriate protective equipment, goggles, and gloves.

•Clean all cell parts right after disassembly. Leaving cell parts in contact with the

ambient atmosphere while still being wetted with electrolytes may result in severe

corrosion.
