Signal-processing theory refers to data domains. The same data can be represented in different domains. In EIS, we use two of these domains, the time domain and the frequency domain.… read more →
Measuring an EIS spectrum takes time (often many hours). The system being measured must be at a steady state throughout the time required to measure the EIS spectrum. A common… read more →
Very few electrochemical cells can be modeled using a single equivalent-circuit element. Instead, EIS models usually consist of a number of elements in a network. Both serial and parallel combinations… read more →
Electrical circuit theory distinguishes between linear and non-linear systems (circuits). Impedance analysis of linear circuits is much easier than analysis of non-linear ones. The following definition of a linear system… read more →
EIS data are commonly analyzed by fitting them to a model of an equivalent electrical circuit. Most of the circuit components in the model are common electrical elements such as… read more →
Almost everyone knows about the concept of electrical resistance. Resistance is the ability of a circuit element to resist the flow of electrical current. Ohm’s law defines resistance in terms… read more →
The Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy system provides a comprehensive set of tools for Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy. As in all modern EIS systems, the software uses a computer to automate EIS data-acquisition… read more →
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is used to characterize the interface between a metal and a conductive solution. Most EIS experiments are performed using a potentiostat. This electronic device applies both… read more →
In order to make this Help file more readable, we have adopted some of Microsoft’s standard notational conventions and added some of our own. These are used throughout this Help… read more →
AC measurements are largely free from problems caused by sign conventions. However, the Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy software does not only make AC measurements, but it also sets and reads DC… read more →
