Electrochemistry electrochemical impedance

Finite-space diffusion takes place during the charging of insertion electrodes at moderate frequencies, transforming into mainly capacitive behavior within the limit of very low frequencies, in contrast to the semi-infinite diffusion for solution redox-species (except for thin-layer solution electrochemistry) electrochemical impedance spectroscopy becomes a very useful diagnostic tool for the characterization of insertion mechanisms ... 

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy leads to information on surface states and representative circuits of electrode/electrolyte interfaces. Here, the measurement technique involves potential modulation and the detection of phase shifts with respect to the generated current. The driving force in a microwave measurement is the microwave power, which is proportional to E2 (E = electrical microwave field). Therefore, for a microwave impedance measurement, the microwave power P has to be modulated to observe a phase shift with respect to the flux, the transmitted or reflected microwave power APIP. Phase-sensitive microwave conductivity (impedance) measurements, again provided that a reliable theory is available for combining them with an electrochemical impedance measurement, should lead to information on the kinetics of surface states and defects and the polarizability of surface states, and may lead to more reliable information on real representative circuits of electrodes. We suspect that representative electrical circuits for electrode/electrolyte interfaces may become directly determinable by combining phase-sensitive electrical and microwave conductivity measurements. However, up to now, in this early stage of development of microwave electrochemistry, only comparatively simple measurements can be evaluated.

The most common techniques for testing electrodes are sweep voltammetry, galvanostatic poten-tiometry, rotating disk electrochemistry, and impedance spectroscopy. Detailed information about these techniques may be found in most classical electrochemical textbooks [6-13], and we will present here the basics of these techniques.

Potentiodynamictechniques— are all those techniques in which a time-dependent -> potential is applied to an - electrode and the current response is measured. They form the largest and most important group of techniques used for fundamental electrochemical studies (see -> electrochemistry), -> corrosion studies, and in -> electroanalysis, -+ battery research, etc. See also the following special potentiodynamic techniques - AC voltammetry, - DC voltammetry, -> cyclic voltammetry, - linear scan voltammetry, -> polarography, -> pulse voltammetry, - reverse pulse voltammetry, -> differential pulse voltammetry, -> potentiodynamic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Jaradaic rectification voltammetry, - square-wave voltammetry. 

Tlie use of a phase-sensitive voltmeter for the study of the electrical response of the interpliase was mentioned in Section 16.8 as an accurate method for the measurement of the double-layer capacitance. But this instrument has far more important uses in electrochemistry than just the measurement of capacitance, by combining a phase-sensitive voltmeter (also called a lock-in amplifier) with a variable frequency sine-wave generator, one obtains an electrochemical impedance spectrometer. Such instruments are commonly combined with a microcomputer,...

Thus, in the metal/YSZ systems of solid-state electrochemistry, AC-impedance spectroscopy provides concrete evidence for the formation of an effective electrochemical double layer over the entire gas-exposed electrode surface. The capacitance of this metal/gas double layer is of the order of 100-500 pF cm-2 of superficial electrode surface area and of the order 2-10 pF cm-2 when the electrode roughness is taken into account and, thus, the true metal/gas interface surface area is used, comparable to that corresponding to the metal/solid electrolyte double layer. Furthermore AC-impedance spectroscopy...

Conventional kinetics is largely concerned with the description of dynamic processes in the time domain, and in consequence few conceptual problems are encountered in understanding time resolved experiments. By contrast, frequency resolved measurements often pose more of a challenge to understanding, in spite of the obvious correspondence between the time and frequency domains. This conceptual difficulty may explain why the only frequency resolved method to achieve universal acceptance in electrochemistry is electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) [27-29], which analyses the response of electrochemical systems to periodic (sinusoidal) perturbations of voltage or current. It is clear that EIS is a very powerful method, and there...

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is usually presented in electrochemistry handbooks [12-22], although such presentations are usually quite brief. There are few books on impedance in English [3, 23-26], one in Russian [27], one on differential impedance analysis [28], and many chapters on specific topics [29-72]. The first book [23] on the topic was edited by Macdonald and centered on solid materials the second edition [24] by Macdonald and Barsoukov was enlarged by including other applications. Recently, three new books, by Orazem and Tribollet [3], by Yuan et al. [26] on proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEM EC), and by Lvovich [25], have been published, while that by Stoynov et al. [27] was never translated into English. A third edition of the book by Macdonald and Barsoukov is in preparation. However, not all aspects of EIS are presented, and these books are not complete in the presentation of their applications. Plenty of review articles on different aspects of impedance and its applications have been published however, they are very specific and can usually be used only by readers who aheady know the basics of this technique. A Scopus search for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to the end of 2012 comes up with 18,000 papers, most of them since 1996.
