Other techniques to detennine the corrosion rate use instead of DC biasing, an AC approach (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy). From the impedance spectra, the polarization resistance (R ) of the system can be detennined. The polarization resistance is indirectly proportional to j. An advantage of an AC method is given by the fact that a small AC amplitude applied to a sample at the corrosion potential essentially does not remove the system from equilibrium. 

The capacitance. The electrical double layer may be regarded as a resistance and capacitance in parallel see Section 20.1), and measurements of the electrical impedance by the imposition of an alternating potential of known frequency can provide information on the nature of a surface. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is now well established as a powerful technique for investigating electrochemical and corrosion systems. 

ENA was recently used for remote on-line corrosion monitoring of carbon steel electrodes in a test loop of a surge water tank at a gas storage field. An experimental design and system for remote ENA and collection of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) data (Fig. 13) have been presented elsewhere. In the gas storage field, noise measurements were compared with electrode weight loss measurements. Noise resistance (R ) was defined as... 

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, AC probes. EIS, although around since the 1960s, has primarily been a laboratory technique. Commercially available probes and monitoring systems that measure EIS are becoming more widely used, especially in plants that have on-staff corrosion experts to interpret the data or to train plant personnel to do so. 

UPD process is significantly enhanced by introducing lead into Se [322]. Pb UPD has also been studied on palladium [323], from the point of view of catalytic applications and on tellurium using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy [324]. The latter process has been found irreversible owing to the Pb-Te bonds formation. Periodic multilayer structures in Pb-Se-Te system have been studied using pulse potentio-static methods [325]. 

In contrast to kinetic studies, frequency resolved experiments analyze the response of electrochemical systems to periodic or sinusoidal perturbations of voltage or current.545 However, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is the only universally accepted electrochemical frequency resolved method because of the conceptual difficulty involved. Electrochemical perturbation and... 

Conductometric methods in conductometric methods, the conductivity of an electrolyte is assessed by measuring the impedance of this system using two identical electrodes, planarly positioned. However, much more can be done if the impedance is measured as a function of applied frequency, a method that is called electrochemical impedance spectroscopy more details about this method are given in section2.3.

One of the most important applications of neural network methodology is in the extrapolation of electrochemical impedance data obtained in corrosion studies.34 Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) can be used to obtain instantaneous corrosion rates. The validation of extension of EIS data frequency range, which is conventionally difficult, can be done using a neural network system. In addition to extension of impedance data frequency range, the neural network identifies problems such as the inherent variability of corrosion data and provides solutions to the problems. Furthermore, noisy or poor-quality data are dealt with by neural works through the output of the parameters variance and confidence.33...

The above formulas may become inapplicable for systems with adsorption processes or/and coupled chemical steps in solution whose characteristic times are comparable with the inverse frequency within the impedance measurement interval. In this case the charge-transfer resistance, Rct, must be replaced by a complex charge-transfer impedance, Zct. Another restriction of this treatment is its assumption of the uniform polarization of the m s interface which requires to ensure a highly symmetrical configuration of the system. Refs.

If AC impedance spectroscopy is used in an electrochemical system, this technique is generally called electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, known as EIS. The impedance of an electrochemical system can also be expressed typically in Cartesian coordinates ... 

When we begin to investigate an electrochemical system, we normally know little about the processes or mechanisms within the system. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) can be a powerful approach to help us establish a hypothesis using equivalent circuit models. A data-fitted equivalent circuit model will suggest valuable chemical processes or mechanisms for the electrochemical system being studied. From Chapter 1, we know that a fuel cell is actually an electrochemical system involving electrode/electrolyte interfaces, electrode reactions, as well as mass transfer processes. Therefore, EIS can also be a powerful tool to diagnose fuel cell properties and performance. 

In principle, the Kramers-Kronig relations can be used to determine whether the impedance spectrum of a given system has been influenced by bias errors caused, for example, by instrumental artifacts or time-dependent phenomena. Although this information is critical to the analysis of impedance data, the Kramers-Kronig relations have not found widespread use in the analysis and interpretation of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data due to difficulties with their application. The integral relations require data for frequencies ranging from zero to infinity, but the experimental frequency range is necessarily constrained by instrumental limitations or by noise attributable to the instability of the electrode.

A historical perspective on impedance spectroscopy is presented in Table 1. A brief listing of advances in this field cannot be comprehensive, and many important contributions are not mentioned. The reader may wish to explore other historical perspectives, such as that provided by Macdonald. Chapters written by Sluyters-Rehbach and Sluyters and by Lasia provide excellent overviews of the field. Nevertheless, Table 1 provides a useful guide to the trends in areas related to electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. These areas include the types of systems investigated, the instrumentation used to make the measurements, including changes in the accessible frequency range, the methods used to represent the resulting data, and the methods used to interpret the data in terms of quantitative properties of the system. 

The interfacial reactivity of functional electrodes can mostly influence the amperometric detection signal in the bioelectrocatalytic process. Herein, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) has been applied to investigate the interfacial charge transfer or mass transfer process of bare Ti02/Ti substrates and G0D-Ti02/Ti composite electrodes. The EIS measurements over a frequency from 100000 to 0.01 Hz are carried out in a conventional three-electrode system under a sinusoidal perturbation of 5 mV and a constant potential of -0.4 V. 

The power of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is well acknowledged and widely used in various systems [130, 131]. The history of impedance of porous, distributed electrodes in liquid electrolytes goes back to the early 1960s (see Refs. 132, 133), and some later works [134, 135]. In the context of accumulators, interpretation of electrode impedance was already long ago considered as a promising way to acquire information on the current state of the electrodes [136]. The same refers to the study of corrosion [137, 138]. Nowadays,...
