7. Application of Impedance Technique on Corrosion Research • Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) • The response of corroding electrodes to small-amplitude alternating potential signals of widely varying frequency has been analyzed by EIS. • v ( t ) = Vm sin ( wt )i ( t )= Im sin ( wt + ) • Why EIS ? • - In-situ : electrical properties of the interface between electrode and • electrolyte. • - Nondestructive : using very small amplitude signals.
The Double Layer The adsorbed fixed layer and the diffuse mobile layer together are the ELECTROCHEMICAL DOUBLE LAYER acting as a capacitor.
DC & The Double Layer • Surface atoms ionize and the electron flow towards the dc power supply. : " Faradaic Current " • The distance between the mobile layer and the electrode depends on dc voltage. DC voltage makes a net current flow through the double layer, from plate to plate, The double layer capacitor 'leaks'.
Behavior of The Double Layer With AC, The double layer behaves like a capacitor (Cdl)With DC, The double layer behaves like a resistor, The Faradaic resistor, (Rf)
AC & DC Behavior of The Double Layer With low frequency, Cdl is high. ⇒ current through Re (electrolyte resistor) and Rf, dc behavior rules. With high frequency, Cdl is low. ⇒ current through Cdl, ac behavior rules

Nyquist Plot & Bode Plot The variation of the impedance with frequency can be displayed in different way. 1) Nyquist plot : displays ZIm vs. ZRe for different values of 2) Bode plot : log |Z| and are both plotted against log
