FAQ.

What frequency range is relevant for Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurement when characterizing batteries?

In battery research, the most relevant frequency range typically is from 10 kHz to 10 mHz:

high-frequency range (10 kHz – 1 kHz) provides insights into solution resistance and electrolyte conductivity
mid-frequency range (1 kHz – 100 mHz) shows charge transfer processes and electrode kinetics
low frequency range (100 mHz – 10 mHz) indicates mass transport limitations and diffusion processes.

Note: Very high-frequency ranges (up to few MHz) is relevant only for solid-state batteries and gives insights into solid ionic conductors.

For the optimal solution, we strongly recommend contacting our sales teams to discuss how we can support your current projects, they can provide personalized recommendations based on your application needs.

What tools can help me model real-life battery cycles?

Simulating complex battery cycles that model real-life activity is essential in battery development. BioLogic solutions feature special tools to import specific profiles instead of manually creating a protocol with thousands of steps:

Urban Profile inEC-Lab software for potentiostat,
and Arbitrary User Profile in BT-Test software for battery cycler.
