The fundamental approach of

all impedance methods is to

apply a small amplitude

sinusoidal excitation signal to

the system under investigation

and measure the response.

Theoretical Electrochemical

systems are usually

characterised by non-linear I-E

curve .

A low amplitude sine wave

DEsin(wt), of a particular

frequency, is superimposed on

the dc polarization voltage E0.

This results in a current

response of a sine wave

DIsin(wt+f) superimposed on

the dc current I0. The current

response is shifted with

respect to the applied

potential.

sBasic of EIS

Z(w) is a complex quantity with a magnitude and a

phase shift which depends on the frequency of the

signal. Therefore by varying the frequency of the

applied signal one can get the impedance of the

system as a function of frequency.

Typically in electrochemistry, a frequency range of

100kHz – 0.1Hz is used.

The plot of the real part of impedance on the X-axis

and the imaginary part on the Y-axis gives a

Nyquist Plot. While plotting data in the Nyquist

format the real axis must be equal to the imaginary

axis so as not to distort the shape of the curve. The

advantage of Nyquist representation is that it gives

a quick overview of the data and by the shape of

the curve one can make some qualitative

interpretations of the data. The disadvantage is that

one loses the frequency dimension of the data.

The absolute value of impedance (|Z|=Z0) and the

phase shifts are plotted on the Y-axis with log

frequency on the X-axis in two different plots giving

a Bode plot. This is the more complete way of

presenting the data.

Because of the large number of variables

involved, one need several coupons in order

to check the behaviour

Statistical methods such as Experimental

Design could be of great help in order to

reduce the number of experiments required
