  • Publication number: 20110018543
    Abstract: The invention is directed to an electrochemical cell for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, the use thereof, an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy method, and the use of a flexible magnet. The electrochemical cell of the invention comprises—a housing defining a space comprising an electrolyte, a counter electrode and optionally a reference electrode, wherein said counter electrode and said reference electrode are arranged to be in electrical contact with said electrolyte during use; —an opening in said housing allowing the electrolyte to be in electrical contact with a substrate; and—a flexible magnet for attaching said electrochemical cell to said substrate. The EIS method of the invention comprises—attaching an electrochemical cell according to invention to said substrate substrate; —filling said electrochemical cell with electrolyte, such that said counter electrode and said reference electrode are immersed in said electrolyte; and—measuring the impedance of said substrate.
