Considerations on Reducing the Experimental Duration of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Measurements Used for the Evaluation of Ionic Conductivity in Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Electrolysers and Fuel Cells

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper one attempted to discuss the effect of reducing the experimental duration of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements by reducing the sampling frequency without affecting the measured parameters. The experimental setup is based on a novel cell consisting of two electrodes or three electrodes cell configuration. The experimental layout allows a precise evaluation of the membrane thickness, at micrometer resolution, during the determination of the electrochemical impedance spectra.
