Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) in COMSOL®

🌟 Mastering Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) with COMSOL: A Practical Guide 🌟

Unlock the Secrets of Electrochemical Systems with EIS and COMSOL

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) stands as a cornerstone in the toolkit of researchers and engineers who delve into the world of electrochemistry. This non-invasive, versatile technique allows for the exploration of the kinetics and mechanisms governing electrode/electrolyte interfaces under a range of frequencies. By applying small-amplitude sinusoidal perturbations and measuring the ensuing current response, EIS unlocks a spectrum of information about a material's resistance, capacitance, and other dynamic behaviors that are otherwise invisible to traditional electrochemical techniques.
