Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy

  • Short name: EIS

  • Class: PalmSens.Techniques.ImpedimetricMethod

  • TechniqueID: 14

  • MethodID: "eis"

The most common properties are described first. These are used for a typical EIS measurement, a scan over a specified range of frequencies. For example, using the default properties ScanType = Impedance, enumScanType.FixedPotential and FreqType = Impedance.enumFrequencyType.Scan.

The additional properties used for a TimeScan and a PotentialScan are detailed separately in next sections.

Property Description Type

ScanType

Scan type specifies whether a single or multiple frequency scans are performed. When set to FixedPotential a single scan will be performed, this is the recommended setting. A TimeScan performs repeated scans at a given time interval within a specified time range. A PotentialScan performs scans where the DC Potential of the applied sine is incremented within a specified range. A PotentialScan should not be performed versus the OCP.

Impedance.enumScanType

Potential

The DC potential of the applied sine

System.Float

Eac

The amplitude of the applied sine in RMS (Root Mean Square)

System.Float

FreqType

Frequency type specifies whether to perform a scan on a range of frequencies or to measure a single frequency. The latter option can be used in combination with a TimeScan or a Potential Scan.

Impedance.enumFrequencyType

MaxFrequency

The highest frequency in the scan, also the frequency at which the measurement is started

System.Float

MinFrequency

The lowest frequency in the scan

System.Float

nFrequencies

The number of frequencies included in the scan

System.Int

SamplingTime

Each measurement point of the impedance spectrum is performed during the period specified by SamplingTime. This means that the number of measured sine waves is equal to SamplingTime * frequency. If this value is less than 1 sine wave, the sampling is extended to 1 / frequency. So for a measurement at a frequency, at least one complete sine wave is measured. Reasonable values for the sampling are in the range of 0.1 to 1 s.

System.Float

MaxEqTime

The impedance measurement requires a stationary state. This means that before the actual measurement starts, the sine wave is applied during MaxEqTime only to reach the stationary state. The maximum number of equilibration sine waves is however 5. The minimum number of equilibration sines is set to 1, but for very low frequencies, this time is limited by MaxEqTime. The maximum time to wait for stationary state is determined by the value of this parameter. A reasonable value might be 5 seconds. In this case this parameter is only relevant when the lowest frequency is less than 1/5 s so 0.2 Hz.

System.Float

Time Scan

In a Time Scan impedance spectroscopy measurements are repeated for a specific amount of time at a specific interval.

Property Description Type

RunTime

RunTime is not the total time of the measurement, but the time in which a measurement iteration can be started. If a frequency scan takes 18 seconds and is measured at an interval of 19 seconds for a RunTime of 40 seconds three iterations will be performed.

System.Float

IntervalTime

IntervalTime specifies the interval at which a measurement iteration sh ould be performed, however if a measurement iteration takes longer than the interval time the next measurement will not be triggered until after it has been completed.

System.Float

Potential Scan

In a Potential Scan impedance spectroscopy measurements are repeated over a range of DC potential values.

Property Description Type

BeginPotential

The DC potential of the applied sine wave to start the series of iterative measurements at.

System.Float

EndPotential

The DC potential of the applied sine wave at which the series of iterative measurements ends.

  • MethodID: "ms"

Property Description Type

System.String

Recording extra values (BiPot, Aux, CE Potential…)

The PalmSens.Method.ExtraValueMsk property allows you to record an additional value during your measurement. Not all techniques support recording extra values, the SupportsAuxInput and SupportsBipot properties are used to indicate whether a technique supports the recording of these values. The default value for PalmSens.Method.ExtraValueMsk is PalmSens.ExtraValueMask.None.

  • None, no extra value recorded (default)

  • Current

  • Potential

  • WE2, record BiPot readings (The behavior of the second working electrode is defined with the method’s BipotModePS property. EnumPalmSensBipotMode.Constant sets it to a fixed potential and EnumPalmSensBipotMode.Offset sets it to an offset of the primary working electrode. The value in Volt of the fixed or offset potential is defined with the method’s BiPotPotential property.)

  • AuxInput, similar to PSTrace it is possible to configure the readings of the auxiliary input. Using the PalmSens.AuxInput.AuxiliaryInput class you can assign a name, offset, gain and unit to the auxilliary input. The following example demonstrates how to set up the Pt1000 temperature sensor from PSTrace.

dotnet:ROOT:auxilary_input.png[Change auxilary input]

psCommSimple.comm.AuxInputSelected = new PalmSens.AuxInput.AuxiliaryInputType(
    true, "Pt1000", "Temperature sensor", -275f, 189.1f, new PalmSens.Units.Temperature()
);

The can be ignored and set to true, the second argument is the name, third is the description, fourth the offset, fifth the slope and the final argument is an instance of one of the unit classes in the PalmSens.Units namespace.

  • Reverse, record reverse current as used by Square Wave Voltammetry

  • PolyStatWE, not supported in the PalmSens SDK

  • DCcurrent, record the DC current as used with AC Voltammetry

  • CEPotential, PalmSens 4 only

Multiplexer

The PalmSens.Method class is also used to specify the multiplexer settings for sequential and alternating measurements. Alternating multiplexer measurements restricted to the Chronoamperometry and Chronopotentiometry techniques.

The enumerator property PalmSens.Method.MuxMethod defines the type multiplexer measurement.

// Default setting, no multiplexer
methodCA.MuxMethod = MuxMethod.None;
methodCA.MuxMethod = MuxMethod.Alternatingly;

methodCA.MuxMethod = MuxMethod.Sequentially;

// The channels on which to measure are specified in a boolean array
PalmSens.Method.UseMuxChannel: methodCA.UseMuxChannel = new bool[] {
    true, true, false, false, false, false, false, true
};

The code above will perform a measurement on the first two and last channels of an 8-channel multiplexer. For a 16-channel multiplexer you would also need to assign true or false to the last 8 channels.

Alternating multiplexer measurement can only measure on successive channels and must start with the first channel (i.e. it is possible to alternatingly measure on channels 1 through 4 but it is not possible to alternatingly measure on channel 1, 3 and 5). The multiplexer functionality is demonstrated in the PSSDKMultiplexerExample project.

Multiplexer settings

When using a MUX8-R2 multiplexer the multiplexer settings must be set digitally instead of via the physical switches on the earlier multiplexer models. The type of multiplexer should be specified in the connected device’s capabilities, when the multiplexer is connected before connecting to the software the capabilities are updated automatically. Otherwise, when using the MUX8-R2 the PalmSens.Devices.DeviceCapabilities.MuxType should be set to PalmSens.Comm.MuxType.Protocol manually or by calling PalmSens.Comm.CommManager.ClientConnection.ReadMuxInfo, PalmSens.Comm.CommManager.ClientConnection.ReadMuxInfoAsync when connected asynchronously.

For the MUX8-R2 the settings for a measurement are set in PalmSens.Method.MuxSett property with an instance of the PalmSens.Method.MuxSettings class. For manual control these settings can be set using the PalmSens.Comm.ClientConnection.SetMuxSettings function, PalmSens.Comm.ClientConnection.SetMuxSettingsAsync when connected asynchronously.

method.MuxSett = new Method.MuxSettings(false) {
    CommonCERE = false,
    ConnSEWE = false,
    ConnectCERE = true,
    OCPMode = false,
    SwitchBoxOn = false,
    UnselWE = Method.MuxSettings.UnselWESetting.FLOAT
};

Versus OCP

The versus open circuit potential settings (OCP) are defined in the PalmSens.Method.OCPmode, PalmSens.Method.OCPMaxOCPTime, and PalmSens.Method.OCPStabilityCriterion properties.

The OCPmode is a bitmask specifies which of the following technique dependent properties or combination thereof will be measured versus the OCP potential:

The progress and result of the versus OCP measurement step are reported in the PalmSens.Comm.MeasureVersusOCP class, which can be obtained by subscribing to the PalmSens.Comm.CommManager.DeterminingVersusOCP event which is raised when the versus OCP measurement step is started.

// Defining vs OCP measurement step for CV
// Measure (Vtx1Potential) 1 + (Vtx2Potential) 2 + (BeginPotential) 4 = 7 versus the OCP potential
_methodCV.OCPmode = 7;

// Sets the maximum time the versus OCP step can take to 10 seconds
_methodCV.OCPMaxOCPTime = 10;

// The OCP measurement will stop when the change in potential over time is less than 0.02mV/s,
// when set to 0 the OCP measurement step will always run for the OCPMaxOCPTime
_methodCV.OCPStabilityCriterion = 0.02f;

Properties for EmStat Pico

There are two method parameters specific to the EmStat Pico. The PalmSens.Method.PGStatMode property sets the mode in which the measurement should be run, low power, high speed or max range. This mode can be set for all techniques but Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy. The second property is PalmSens.Method.SelectedPotentiostatChannel which let you choose on which channel the EmStat Pico should run the measurement.
