Project Goal Statement:
The goal of this project is to design and build a through-plane conductivity test device that can accurately measure the conductivity of gas diffusion layers (GDL) and porous transport layers (PTL). These components are critical to the efficiency of electrolysis, yet current testing methods are costly, complicated, and prone to error. By creating a simple, reliable, and plug-and-play solution, this project aims to make conductivity testing more accessible, reduce setup errors, and provide consistent data.
