Electrode tortuosity tester & diaphragm ion conductivity tester

The Electrode Tortuosity Tester and Diaphragm Ion Conductivity Tester are precision systems designed for advanced analysis of battery electrodes and separators. The Electrode Tortuosity Tester evaluates 3D tortuosity pathways and microstructural connectivity in electrodes, while the Diaphragm Ion Conductivity Tester measures ionic conductivity of separators under controlled environmental conditions. These systems support R&D, quality control, and optimization of electrode and separator materials for lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and solid-state batteries.
