Impedance Spectroscopy (eBook)

This book presents a balance of theoretical considerations and
practical problem solving of electrochemical impedance
spectroscopy. This book incorporates the results of the last two
decades of research on the theories and applications of impedance
spectroscopy, including more detailed reviews of the impedance
methods applications in industrial colloids, biomedical sensors and
devices, and supercapacitive polymeric films. The book covers all
of the topics needed to help readers quickly grasp how to apply
their knowledge of impedance spectroscopy methods to their own
research problems. It also helps the reader identify whether
impedance spectroscopy may be an appropriate method for their
particular research problem. This includes understanding how to
correctly make impedance measurements, interpret the results,
compare results with expected previously published results form
similar chemical systems, and use correct mathematical formulas to
verify the accuracy of the data.



Unique features of the book include theoretical considerations
for dealing with modeling, equivalent circuits, and equations in
the complex domain, review of impedance instrumentation, best
measurement methods for particular systems and alerts to potential
sources of errors, equations and circuit diagrams for the most
widely used impedance models and applications, figures depicting
impedance spectra of typical materials and devices, extensive
references to the scientific literature for more information on
particular topics and current research, and a review of related
techniques and impedance spectroscopy modifications.
