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.

(2) 3D microstructural analysis for optimizing electrode porosity and ionic pathways.
(3) Ionic conductivity measurement of battery separators (ceramic, polymer, or hybrid materials).
(4) Evaluation of electrolyte diffusion through diaphragms under AC/DC bias.
(5) Quality control of electrode and separator batches in battery manufacturing.
(6) R&D of next-generation solid-state and high-energy-density battery systems.
(7) Integration with gloveboxes for oxygen/moisture-sensitive materials.
(8) Multi-scale imaging to correlate microstructure with electrochemical performance.
