..the measurements at frequencieslower than 1 kHz will result in an additional large contribution ofinterfacial polarization and double layer capacitive effects to the total "measured" impedance, producing values that have little in common with pure bulk-solution properties. (p. 67-68) _ Lvovich _ Impedance Spectroscopy Also quite frequently the ionic conduction leads to "interfacial polarization" at the electrodes, producing a low-frequency capacitive response that masks the Debye relaxation process.

An application of external electric field in many ionic nonpolar liquids causes the buildup of surface charges near the electrodes without charges crossing the interface due to blocking [11]. The interfacialpolarization may result in an additional sizable voltage drop at the interface and diminished effective electric field in the bulk media. Chargedparticles and ions in the bulk will move more slowly because of a diminished effective electric field and appear to have lower electrophoretic mobility than they actually do, resulting in a measurable increase of RBULK [12 Frombook Impedance spectroscopy by Lvovich, page 67

Equivalent circuit and ideal ac response in the Z* plane for an ionic conductor with blocking electrodes. RC element is connected in series with an ideal capacitor: -Z´´ = 1/ωC Z´ = 0 The semicircular arc, with intercepts on the real axis at 0 and R, represents the response of a parallel R1C1 bulk element. At low frequencies the Z* plane response is dominated by the blocking nature of the electrode interface, where -Z" = 1/ωC. This response is illustrated by a vertical locus of points, often referred to as an electrode “spike” From: Characterization of Electro-materials using ac Impedance Spectroscopy_Sinclair D.C., Boletín de la Sociedad Española de Cerámica y Vidrio. Vol. 34 Num. 2 Marzo-Abril 1994
The semicircle - indicats that theions have plural relaxation time (Armstrong, 1974*). Ideal capacitance → a vertical spike in the impedance plot. However, the spikeinclined at an angle θ ˂ 90°has been found instead of the vertical spike which may be attributed to thenon-homogeneity or roughness of the electrolyte or electrode interface. To modelsuch non-ideal behaviour - the use of CPE's or transmission lines is required.

For many nonaqueous systems temperature modulation is one of the most effective methods of perturbation-based analysis. Conductivity-temperaturedependence in various systems with ionic conductivity typical of activatedmechanisms can usually be described by the Arrhenius equation For a majority of liquid and solid experimental systems with ionic conduction, an increase in temperature leads to an increase in media conductivity
The CPE behavior is generally attributed to distributed surface reactivity, surface inhomogeneity, roughness or fractal geometry, electrode porosity, and to current and potential distributions associated with electrode geometry. Relaxationtime – viz net

Generation of a high-density highly non-equilibrium air plasma for high-speed large-area flat surface processing M Černák1,2, D Kováčik1,2, J Ráhel'1,2, P St'ahel1, A Zahoranová2, J Kubincová2, A Tóth3 andL' Černáková4 Published 14 November 2011 • 2011 IOP Publishing Ltd • Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, Volume 53,Number 12 Abstract A new plasma source, the so-called diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge (DCSBD), is described. DCSBD allows a visually diffuse high-density 'cold' plasma to be sustained in atmospheric-pressure air at a high plasma power density exceeding 100 W cm−3that permits high-speed surface processing of large-area webs and flat surfaces. This is demonstrated by the results on a successful in-line activation of thin polypropylene fabric at 450 m min−1 and plasma exposures as short as 0.14 s. DCSBD basic features resulting in the observed high efficiency of plasma activation and the related plasmachemical mechanism are discussed briefly.

In automobile industry the metal coating on ABS is composed of Cu (30 µm) + Ni (10 µm) + Cr (0.3 µm) – according to a norm. Generally, the thickness of Cu layer should be twice as large as that of Ni. The reason for Cu is a compensation of stresses of ABS and Ni which are quite high and Cu by itself has low internal stress.
