%0 Journal Article %T The effects of time-variance on impedance measurements: examples of a corroding electrode and a battery cell %A Diard %A Jean-Paul %A Murer %A Nicolas %A Petrescu %A Bogdan %J - %D 2020 %R 10.5599/jese.725 %X Sa£¿etak When performing electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements on a system, we must make sure it fulfills certain conditions. One of them is that it should be stationary that is to say, steady-state and time-invariant. Commonly studied systems are time-variant, for example a corroding electrode or a battery under operation. A corroding electrode sees its polarization resistance decrease with time. A passivating electrode sees its polarization resistance increase with time. These phenomena cause a deformation of the Nyquist impedance at low frequencies. This result was first simulated and validated by experimental measurements on a corroding steel sample undergoing uniform corrosion. The effect of performing impedance measurements on a discharging battery was also shown. Several methods are available to check and correct time-variance. The nonstationary distortion (NSD) indicator is used to separate valid and invalid data samples and the so called ¡°4D impedance¡± method can easily produce instantaneous impedance data %K EIS %K non-stationarity %K corrosion %K in operando %K battery cells %K 4D impedance %K NSD %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=342174
