Ionic conductivity is a fundamental property that governs the movement of charge carriers within an electrolyte. In electrochemical energy storage systems, conductivity plays a critical role in determining electrolyte performance, material stability, and diagnostic metrics. Deviations in conductivity can indicate degradation, contamination, or formulation inconsistencies. This application note introduces the principles of conductivity profiling using a platinum electrode probe and emphasizes its importance in battery electrolyte evaluation.

Integrating conductivity profiling into standard diagnostic workflows supports quality control, enables a deeper understanding of electrolyte behavior under storage and operating conditions, and helps advance lithium-ion and next-generation battery technologies.
