Abstract

Bulk transport properties of a material were investigated using a simple analysis of impedance method. In the current review, impedance spectroscopy was introduced followed by best practice and guidelines to data collection and analysis. After that, a review of mathematical basics and circuit element of impedance spectroscopy was provided. This review provides a practical guideline to scientists to calculate impedance spectroscopy which will be applied to investigate electrochemical systems such as photovoltaics.
