Solventsexcess ethanol (200 proof, Sigma-Aldrich); a few ethanol drops during kneading/film formation
AdditivesPTFE binder solution (60 wt% in H2O, Aldrich); carbon black powder
Atmosphereambient conditions during ethanol evaporation
Temperatureambient for electrode processing
Work-upGround in an agate mortar with excess ethanol until homogeneous slurry formed; ethanol evaporated; transferred to glass with ethanol drops; kneaded with stainless-steel spatula until particles stuck together; rolled into a free-standing film.
