A novel
in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) method
is developed for the determination of RMS roughness (h), electroactive roughness factor (R
c
*), and morphological convexity (H̅*) of the
electrode surface. Our method uses the angular frequency of maximum
phase (ω
M
) in anomalous Warburg
impedance to extract in situ RMS roughness (h). The
compact electric double layer (C-EDL) formation frequency (ω
H
) is used to extract the electroactive roughness
factor and morphological convexity. The theory unravels the inverse
square root dependence of h on ω
M
through an elegant equation,
, where D is the diffusion
coefficient of electroactive species. Similarly, the equation for
the electroactive roughness factor is R
c
* = ω
H
0/ω
H
and ω
H
0 is the smooth electrode C-EDL formation frequency. These equations
are validated for the nanoparticles deposited and mechanically roughened
Pt electrodes. Finally, this in situ method is applicable for both
low and high roughness electrodes which transcend the limitations
of contemporary methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
