Membrane–electrode assemblies (MEAs) designed for a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) water electrolyser based on a short-side chain (SSC) perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) membrane, Aquivion®, and an advanced Ir-Ru oxide anode electro-catalyst, with various cathode and anode noble metal loadings, were investigated. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), in combination with performance and durability tests, provided useful information to identify rate-determining steps and to quantify the impact of the different phenomena on the electrolysis efficiency and stability characteristics as a function of the MEA properties. This technique appears to be a useful diagnostic tool to individuate different phenomena and to quantify their effect on the performance and degradation of PEM electrolysis cells.

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a powerful technique used for the analysis of interfacial properties related to bio-recognition events occurring at the electrode surface, such as antibody–antigen recognition, substrate–enzyme interaction, or whole cell capturing. Thus, EIS could be exploited in several important biomedical diagnosis and environmental applications. However, the EIS is one of the most complex electrochemical methods, therefore, this review introduced the basic concepts and the theoretical background of the impedimetric technique along with the state of the art of the impedimetric biosensors and the impact of nanomaterials on the EIS performance. The use of nanomaterials such as nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanowires, and nanocomposites provided catalytic activity, enhanced sensing elements immobilization, promoted faster electron transfer, and increased reliability and accuracy of the reported EIS sensors. Thus, the EIS was used for the effective quantitative and qualitative detections of pathogens, DNA, cancer-associated biomarkers, etc. Through this review article, intensive literature review is provided to highlight the impact of nanomaterials on enhancing the analytical features of impedimetric biosensors.

This article studies the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy response of mixed ionic-electronic conducting (MIEC) films with embedded current collectors (CCs). Even though the MIEC surface is fully exposed, the impact of the CCs can be significant.

- Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to study the thickness and curing temperature influence on the aging behavior of polyaspartic ester (PAE) polyurea under salt fog exposure in this paper. The result has demonstrated that coating thickness and curing temperature had great influence on aging behavior of the PAE-t-HDI prepolymer-D2000H65 aliphatic polyurea (T3). The low frequency impedance after 1day exposure increased from 5.31×1010Ω·cm to 7.96×1010Ω while coating thickness was increased from 40μm to 200μm, and the low frequency impedance of 200μm coating was 7.42×1010Ω·cm2 high after 200 days exposure. The low frequency impedance after 1day and 200 days exposure increased by 0.83×1010 Ω·cm2 and 0.39×109Ω·cm2 respectively, while curing temperature were increased from 60°C to 80°C. Suggestions have been made, namely that increase the coating thickness and curing temperature can improve low frequency impedance of PAE polyurea, as a result, improve the protective properties of the coatings.

This paper discusses the importance of the temperature drying process on some silane films in order to obtain a coating with specific properties (stability in time, resistance to corrosion attack and compactness) that would make them appropriate to be used as anticorrosive protection layers. Electrochemical techniques such as open circuit potential and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were employed in order to characterize the investigated deposited silane films on aluminium substrate. The validation of the experimental electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data was carried out using the comparison of the validation coefficient versus the Pearson coefficient computed for a a=0.05.
