Impedance Spectroscopy: Theory, Experiment, and Applications 3rd Edition Pdf Book Description:

The principal audience that will benefit from this book are M.Sc. and Ph.D. students with specialization in physical chemistry, electro chemistry, or physics, as well as researchers and engineers in the field of electrochemistry, particularly in areas of semiconductors, solid electrolytes, corrosion, solid state devices, and electrochemical power sources. Impedance spectroscopy has firmly established itself as one of the most informative and irreplaceable investigation methods in these areas of research. In addition, the book provides a valuable source of information and resource for established researchers and engineers working in one or more of the said fields. The book should enable understanding of the method of impedance spectroscopy in general, as well as detailed guidance in its application in all mentioned areas. It is the only book in existence that brings expert reviews of all main areas of impedance applications together.

This book covers all subjects needed by a researcher to identify whether impedance spectroscopy may be a solution to his/her particular needs and to explain how to set up experiments and how to analyze their results. It includes both theoretical considerations and the know-how needed to begin work immediately. For most subjects covered, theoretical considerations dealing with modeling, equivalent circuits, and equations in the complex domain are provided. Best measurement methods for particular systems are discussed, and sources of errors are identified along with suggestions for improvement. The extensive references to scientific literature provided in the book will give a solid foundation in the state of the art, leading to fast growth from a qualified beginner to an expert. The previous edition of this book became a standard textbook on impedance spectroscopy. This second extended edition updates the book to include the results of the last two decades of research and adds new areas where impedance spectroscopy has gained importance. Most notably, it includes completely new chapters on batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells and photochromic materials. A new chapter on commercially available measurements systems reflects the reality of impedance spectroscopy as a mainstream research tool.
