EIS

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy

EIS - Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy block in the Custom Experiment Builder, with input fields for bias, amplitude, spectrum start, upper and lower frequency, point density above 66 Hz and at the lower frequency limit, minimum number of prewaves, minimum prewaves measurement time, minimum number of waves, minimum measurement time, and dataset name.

Performs electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements over a specified frequency range with configurable parameters.

The amplitude is defined as the peak value in V or A, depending on the measurement mode (potentiostatic or galvanostatic). The measurement scans from the start frequency up to the highest frequency, then down to the lowest frequency. The start frequency must be lower than the upper frequency and higher than the lower frequency.

At 66 Hz, the spectral density can be adjusted. Above 66 Hz, measurements are taken using the upper points per decade setting. Below 66 Hz, the measurement point density transitions linearly from the upper density to the lower density at the minimum frequency.

To optimize the measurement time per frequency point, you can specify the minimum number of periods to be measured using the number of waves and measurement time parameters. The specified number of waves is always measured as a minimum, but if the measurement duration has not been reached after completing the number of waves, measurements will continue until the specified time is reached. In the low frequency range especially, the minimum number of waves will typically exceed the duration requirement.

Before the actual measurement wave is recorded, one or more prewaves are applied at each frequency point. They are needed both for the current ranging - so the device can select the correct measuring range before recording - and for letting the cell and IM7 settle into a steady state at the new frequency. In a normal experiment in the Zahner Lab, the prewave time equals the measurement time and a single wave is used. Unlike in the GUI, where the prewave cannot be adjusted, the Custom Experiment Builder lets you parametrize the prewave in exactly the same way as the measurement wave.

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Table

Table EIS block in the Custom Experiment Builder, with a bias field and a dataset name field, and an entries list built with a "create list with" block that holds Table EIS Entry blocks, each defining frequency, amplitude, prewaves count and measurement time, and waves count and measurement time.

Performs electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements at user-defined frequency points with configurable parameters.

The amplitude is defined as the peak value in V or A, depending on the measurement mode (potentiostatic or galvanostatic). It is recommended to start the frequency table EIS at around 1 kHz, as this allows the IM7 to identify the correct measuring range more quickly. Starting at a lower frequency can significantly increase the time required to acquire the first measurement point.

To optimize the measurement time per frequency point, you can specify the minimum number of periods to be measured using the number of waves and measurement time parameters. The specified number of waves is always measured as a minimum, but if the measurement duration has not been reached after completing the number of waves, measurements will continue until the specified time is reached. In the low frequency range especially, the minimum number of waves will typically exceed the duration requirement.

Galvanostatic EIS constant Voltage Amplitude

GEIS-VA - Galvanostatic EIS with Configurable Voltage Amplitude block in the Custom Experiment Builder, with input fields for bias, voltage amplitude, current amplitude from and to, spectrum start, upper and lower frequency, point density above 66 Hz and at the lower frequency limit, minimum number of prewaves, minimum prewaves measurement time, minimum number of waves, minimum measurement time, and dataset name.

Performs electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements over a specified frequency range with configurable parameters.

The amplitude is defined as the peak value in V and the potentiostat must be in galvanostatic mode. The measurement scans from the start frequency up to the highest frequency, then down to the lowest frequency. The start frequency must be lower than the upper frequency and higher than the lower frequency.

At 66 Hz, the spectral density can be adjusted. Above 66 Hz, measurements are taken using the upper points per decade setting. Below 66 Hz, the measurement point density transitions linearly from the upper density to the lower density at the minimum frequency.
