Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) for Electroceramic Materials and Systems
Dr. Dino Klotz
Application Scientist at Zurich Instruments AG, Zürich, SwitzerlandIn this tutorial, the strengths of impedance measurements as a general measurement technique with its own unique benefits and the underlying idea and principle will be pointed out. There will be a special focus on electrochemical measurements. The tutorial will cover how to realize accurate and fault-free measurements, optimizing the setup and measurement parameters, and how to check for validity. Last, strategies for impedance modelling will be presented.
Short biography:
Dr. Dino Klotz is an Application Scientist at Zurich Instruments. He started working with impedance spectroscopy during his PhD in Electronic Engineering at KIT Karlsruhe in the group of Ellen Ivers-Tifféee, co-supervised by Bernard Boukamp, which he completed in 2012. After his PhD, he has held positions at research institutions in Tokyo (University of Tokyo), Haifa (Technion), Fukuoka (Kyushu University) and Cambridge (MIT). In his research, he has looked into several electrochemical energy conversion systems, such as fuel cells, batteries, photoelectrodes for solar water splitting, perovskite solar cells and the fundamentals of electroceramics – always with the focus on impedance measurements and modelling, solving materials related issues and contributing to the understanding of the occurring electrochemical processes.
At Zurich Instruments, he is eager to share this knowledge and help researchers with their challenges related to impedance measurements.
