Product Description

Product Overview
The In-situ Lithium Metal Dendrite Observation Cell is a research-grade optical electrochemical platform purpose-built for real-time visualization of lithium deposition, stripping, and dendrite evolution under controlled electrochemical conditions.
Designed to simulate Li-ion / Li-metal battery operation, C031-5 enables direct optical access to the electrode–electrolyte interface through a high-transmittance sapphire window, allowing researchers to correlate electrochemical signals with physical dendrite growth behavior.
This cell is widely used in lithium metal anode research, SEI evolution studies, electrolyte screening, and safety-oriented failure analysis, where seeing dendrites matters as much as measuring them.
