Questions and Answers

What is the main advantage of using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) in studying electrochemical systems?

  • It only focuses on the charge-transfer process at the electrode-electrolyte interface.
  • It allows for the exploration of the concentration of electroactive species. (correct)
  • It can study material properties but not specific processes.
  • It does not provide any information on conductance or resistance.

Which of the following is an element typically characterized in an electrical circuit using EIS?

  • Friction between the electrode and the electrolyte
  • Chemical bonding at the electrode surface
  • Temperature change within the electrolyte
  • Mass-transfer from the bulk solution to the electrode surface (correct)

In an electrochemical cell, what does the solution resistance primarily refer to?

  • Resistance caused by electrode corrosion
  • Resistance offered by the electrolyte solution to ion movement (correct)
  • Resistance related to free electron movement
  • Resistance due to lack of charge transfer at the electrode surface
