Interdigitated Senor and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS)

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Smart Nitrate Sensor

Part of the book series: Smart Sensors, Measurement and Instrumentation ((SSMI,volume 35))

Abstract

This objective of this chapter is to explain the operating principle of the sensors in terms of their electrical behaviour. It also displays the phenomenon of impedance spectroscopy used to characterise the sensor and material under test (MUT). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used as the measurement tool for the developed prototypes to determine the nitrate in water.
