Course Description

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is a powerful technique used to study the behavior of electrochemical systems. It involves applying a small amplitude sinusoidal voltage or current to the system and measuring the resulting current or voltage response over a wide range of frequencies. The impedance of the system, which is a complex number representing the resistance and capacitance of the system, is then calculated. This information can be used to gain insights into the kinetics of electrochemical reactions, the properties of the electrode-electrolyte interface, and the diffusion of species in the system. EIS is a non-destructive technique that can be used to study a wide range of electrochemical systems, including batteries, fuel cells, corrosion systems, and biosensors.

Assessment Methodology

All courses conducted by EdTech will begin with a Pre-evaluation and end with a Post-evaluation. The instructor will evaluate the knowledge and skills of the participants according to the feedback given by participants. This will help to recognize the benefits and the level of knowledge gained by participants through the course.

Training Methodology

Facilitated by a highly qualified specialist, who has extensive knowledge and experience; this program will be conducted using extensively interactive methods, encouraging participants to share their own experiences and apply the program material to real-life work situations in order to stimulate group discussions and improve the efficiency of the subject coverage.

Percentages of the total course hour classification are:

  • ​40% Theoretical lectures, Concepts and approach
