iSAEST-12 : PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP

About the Course:

This course is planned to learn about the theory and practice of EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy). The pre-conference workshop will be held at Hotel Trident (The Oberoi Group) on

th7 January 2019, which provides an introduction to Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy related theory, practice, fitting analysis and applications. This course is highly academic and offers hands on experience with equipments and fitting analysis. The pre-conference workshop includes Guest Lectures from experienced researchers from both theoretical and experimental electrochemistry.

Hands-on Practical Sessions:

The course will be taught in small groups, with a strong emphasis on practical work. A portion of your time will be spent using EIS instruments in the laboratory under the guidance of course demonstrators. This gives you hands-on, practical experience and demonstrates the link between theory and experiment. The number of participants is limited, in order to ensure full access to the instruments.The principles of EIS will be introduced in lectures, supported by full documentation in the course notes provided. The first practical session will cover the apparatus used for impedance measurement. You will learn how to set up and interface the hardware, and how to solve troubleshooting common problems. Following this, majority of the practical sessions will consist of experiments chosen carefully to demonstrate the principles and applications of frequency response analysis.

EIS Experiments

?Getting to know the equipment

?Impedance of model circuits

?Impedance of a simple redox system

?Impedance of corroding metal inhibitors

?Impedance of corrosion polymer coatings

?Impedance of batteries

?Impedance of solar cells

?Impedance of fuel cell materials

?Measuring dielectric properties

Outcome of the Programme

At the end of the day, you will be able to use frequency response analysers, potentiostats and interpret and fit the data using non-linear regression programmes.
