Abstract
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used for advanced characterization of organic electroactive compounds along with cyclic voltammetry (CV). In the case of fast reversible electrochemical processes, current is predominantly affected by the rate of diffusion, which is the slowest and limiting stage. EIS is a powerful technique that allows separate analysis of stages of charge transfer that have different AC frequency response. The capability of the method was used to extract the value of charge transfer resistance, which characterizes the rate of charge exchange on the electrode-solution interface. The application of this technique is broad, from biochemistry up to organic electronics. In this work, we are presenting the method of analysis of organic compounds for optoelectronic applications.
Highlights
Redox rate of the electroactive compound is an important parameter characterizing its ability to undergo oxidation or reduction processes and predict its behavior in the presence of strong oxidizing or reducing agents or under applied potential
Among various electrochemical techniques employed for redox active compounds, characterization cyclic voltammetry (CV) is the most prevailing method for quick and sufficient electrochemical characterization of various soluble species[1,2,3]
Its main principles are described in modern electrochemistry literature[17,18,19,20,21,22,23]
Summary
Redox rate of the electroactive compound is an important parameter characterizing its ability to undergo oxidation or reduction processes and predict its behavior in the presence of strong oxidizing or reducing agents or under applied potential. The EIS output signal consists of two parameters: real and imaginary parts of impedance as functions of frequency[17,18,19,20]. It allows estimation of several parameters responsible for charge transfer through the electrode-solution interface: double layer capacitance, solution resistance, charge transfer resistance, diffusion impedance and other parameters depending on system investigated. Even though oxidation and reduction rate constants are estimated in solution, they may generally characterize the ability of a compound for charge exchange. Its main principles are described in modern electrochemistry literature[17,18,19,20,21,22,23]
