Publication number: 20220182014Abstract: An apparatus and method for the characterization of electricity-producing cells using broadband impedance spectroscopy are provided. A method includes injecting a broadband signal having a plurality of superimposed waveforms at different frequency set points across a frequency range into an electricity-producing cell.
