Is it necessary to clamp the polymer electrolyte in between ion blocking electrodes in the presence of Ar atmosphere. If yes, what will be its expected effects?
If your electrolyte is not sensitive to the ambient environment, there is probably no problem. However, you will assemble other cell configs (asymmetric, half-/full-cell..) that are greatly affected by the ambient environment. For that reason, I prefer to assemble any cells under the same conditions. Anyway, you can also investigate the effect for yourself.
