Abstract

This tutorial provides the theoretical background, the principles, and applications of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) in various research and technological sectors. The text has been organized in 17 sections starting with basic knowledge on sinusoidal signals, complex numbers, phasor notation, and transfer functions, continuing with the definition of impedance in electrical circuits, the principles of EIS, the validation of the experimental data, their simulation to equivalent electrical circuits, and ending with practical considerations and selected examples on the utility of EIS to corrosion, energy related applications, and biosensing. A user interactive excel file showing the Nyquist and Bode plots of some model circuits is provided in the Supporting Information. This tutorial aspires to provide the essential background to graduate students working on EIS, as well as to endow the knowledge of senior researchers on various fields where EIS is involved. We also believe that the content of this tutorial will be a useful educational tool for EIS instructors.

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal ACS Measurement Science Au due to its progression and the good impact it has achieved in recent years, according to the agency WoS (JCR), it has become a reference in its field. In the year of publication of the work, 2023, it was in position 21/106, thus managing to position itself as a Q1 (Primer Cuartil), in the category Chemistry, Analytical.

From a relative perspective, and based on the normalized impact indicator calculated from the Field Citation Ratio (FCR) of the Dimensions source, it yields a value of: 634.55, which indicates that, compared to works in the same discipline and in the same year of publication, it ranks as a work cited above average. (source consulted: Dimensions Aug 2025)

Specifically, and according to different indexing agencies, this work has accumulated citations as of 2025-08-02, the following number of citations:

  • Europe PMC: 202

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-08-02:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 3906.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 2332 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 141.75.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 204 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
