Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in a broad range ofapplications
This book provides the background and training suitable forapplication of impedance spectroscopy to varied applications, suchas corrosion, biomedical devices, semiconductors and solid-statedevices, sensors, batteries, fuel cells, electrochemicalcapacitors, dielectric measurements, coatings, electrochromicmaterials, analytical chemistry, and imaging. The emphasis is ongenerally applicable fundamentals rather than on detailed treatmentof applications. With numerous illustrative examples showing howthese principles are applied to common impedance problems,Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy is ideal either forcourse study or for independent self-study, covering:
* Essential background, including complex variables, differentialequations, statistics, electrical circuits, electrochemistry, andinstrumentation
* Experimental techniques, including methods used to measureimpedance and other transfer functions
* Process models, demonstrating how deterministic models ofimpedance response can be developed from physical and kineticdescriptions
* Interpretation strategies, describing methods of interpretatingof impedance data, ranging from graphical methods to complexnonlinear regression
* Error structure, providing a conceptual understanding ofstochastic, bias, and fitting errors in frequency-domainmeasurements
* An overview that provides a philosophy for electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy that integrates experimental observation,model development, and error analysis
This is an excellent textbook for graduate students inelectrochemistry, materials science, and chemical engineering. It'salso a great self-study guide and reference for scientists andengineers who work with electrochemistry, corrosion, andelectrochemical technology, including those in the biomedicalfield, and for users and vendors of impedance-measuringinstrumentation.
