The following are a selection of papers which I think are especially useful for further reading on specific topics. For the most part they are quite focused, and elaborate on some of the topics discussed in the pages on this website. The list is by no means exhaustive, and if you have any suggested papers which you think could find a place in this list, please feel free to suggest them to me either by email or in the comments below.
General
J. E. B. Randles, âKinetics of rapid electrode reactionsâ - the original Randles circuit paper.
R. de Levie, âOn porous electrodes in electrolyte solutionsâ - key fundamental work describing the original transmission line model for porous electrodes, diffusion within pores and charge transfer reactions within porous electrodes. (with thanks to Jeremy Meyers for the suggestion)
T. Jacobsen and K. West, âDiffusion impedance in planar, cylindrical and spherical symmetryâ - derives the expressions for finite diffusion impedance in several different symmetries for both blocking (finite length) and non-blocking (finite space) cases.
J.-B. Jorcin et al., âCPE analysis by local electrochemical impedance spectroscopyâ - research paper discussing the origins of constant phase element behaviour using a local impedance spectroscopy technique.
S. Buteau et al., âExplicit Conversion between Different Equivalent Circuit Models for Electrochemical Impedance Analysis of Lithium-Ion Cellsâ - discusses how different combinations of resistors and capacitors can give identical impedance spectra, how these can be converted between each other and what consequences this has for analysis. (with thanks to Ali Ansari for the suggestion)
Solid state ionics
J. E. Bauerle, âStudy of solid electrolyte polarisation by a complex admittance methodâ - a classic paper on the use of impedance spectroscopy in solid state electrochemistry, applied here to oxide-conducting electrolytes. Discusses polarisation in terms of admittance (reciprocal of impedance), however.
B. A. Boukamp, âElectrochemical impedance spectroscopy in solid state ionics: recent advancesâ. - a very good short review on impedance spectroscopy analysis of solid materials, discussing fitting methods, K-K validation, finite diffusion, and some applied examples.
J. Jamnik, âImpedance spectroscopy of mixed conductors with semi-blocking boundariesâ - research paper presenting an equivalent circuit model for polycrystalline mixed conducting materials (which includes many typical Li-ion battery materials).
M. D. Levi et al., âApplication of finite diffusion models for the interpretation of chronoamperometric and electrochemical impedance responses of thin lithium insertion V2O5 electrodesâ - research paper discussing the use of different finite diffusion circuit elements in modelling a thin film battery electrode).
R. Amin et al., âAluminium-doped LiFePO4 single crystals Part I. Growth, characterisation and total conductivityâ and âPart II. Ionic conductivity, diffusivity and defect modelâ - a nice two-part study on determining electronic and ionic conductivity in doped LiFePO4 crystals, making use of both blocking and non-blocking electrodes to distinguish the processes.
Development of impedance methods for battery electrodes and full systems
F. La Mantia et al., âReliable reference electrodes for lithium-ion batteriesâ - not focusing on impedance spectroscopy as such, but the issue of reference electrode selection is important for studies of battery materials.
J.-M. Atebamba, âOn the interpretation of measured impedance spectra of insertion cathodes for lithium-ion batteriesâ - a research paper proposing equivalent circuit models for porous intercalation electrodes.
C. BĂźnzli et al., âImportant aspects for reliable electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements of Li-ion battery electrodesâ - discussion of cell design considerations for EIS measurements on battery electrodes.
M. D. Levi et al., âImpedance spectra of energy storage electrodes obtained with commercial three-electrode cells: some sources of measurement artefactsâ - further discussion of the importance of cell design for battery impedance analysis and sources of measurement error, through a comparison of three different commercial cell configurations.
