What is Electrochemistry?
• Interaction of electrons with atoms, ions, or molecules.
– Oxidation or Reduction• Exchange of electrons between an atom, ion, or
molecule and an electrode.
– What does this have to do with anything?• Rudy Marcus (Nobel 1996)
• Study electrode + A; electrode + B
• Predict rxn A + B

Basics of Electrochemistry
• Primary variables:
– Current (ampere, A)• Rate – electrons / second
• 1 A = 6 x 1018 electrons / second
– Voltage (volt, V)• Voltage = Energy
• 1 V = 1 joule / coulomb
• 1 V = 1 joule / 6 x 1018 electrons
• 1 eV = 0.16 x 10-18 J

Basics of Electrochemistry
• Variables and units
– Charge (coulomb, C)• Number of electrons
• 1 coulomb = 1 ampere for 1 second
= 6 x 1018 electrons
• 1 mole of electrons = 6 x 1023 e-
• 1 mole of e- = 1 faraday (F) = 96,485 C
• 1 faraday = 1 A for 96,485 s (28.6 hr!)

Basics of Electrochemistry
• What controls the current?
– Voltage• Energy of the electrons
– Rate of supply of reactant• Reactions happen ONLY at the surface of
the electrode! (Michael Faraday)
• Diffusion• Stirring• Rotated electrodes

An Electrochemical Experiment
• Current and voltage are measured by and voltage is controlled by a PotentiostatPotentiostat

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS)
• Small perturbation
• Nominally non-destructive
• Many variations on the experiment
– Sine wave perturbation
– Many sine waves (Multisine)
– Small steps
– Random noise
– Hardware / Software implementations• All give the same results
![Page 9: An Introduction to Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy ...consultrsr.net/files/Princeton_ACS_Impedance.pdf · Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) • Small perturbation](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012003/60a1efba281b05462a6b8124/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

EIS Theory
• If the perturbation is small:
– Current-voltage curve appears linear
– Sine wave voltage perturbation gives sine-wave-ish current response

• Shifted sine wave current responsecurrent response
• Two parameters characterize this response:
– Time/phase shift
– Magnitude: Ratio of voltage to current ( E/I )

Presenting EIS Data
• “Bode Plot” - shows magnitude and phase– Bode Magnitude: log Magnitude vs log
frequency
• Magnitude and frequency both change over MANY decades – Frequency: 10-5 to 10+6 Hz–Magnitude: 10-5 to 10+14 ohm
– Bode Phase: phase vs log frequency
• Phase: -180° to +180°– Frequency:
• f: Hz (cycles/s) ω: rad/s ω = 2 π f
