Warburg's impedance revisited
Literature Information
The derivation of Warburg's impedance presented in several books and scientific papers is reconsidered. In the past it was obtained by assuming that the total electric current across the sample is just due to the diffusion, and that the external potential applied to the electrode is responsible for an increase of the bulk density of charge described by Nernst's model. We show that these assumptions are not correct, and hence the proposed derivations are questionable. When the electrochemical impedance of a cell of an insulating material where external charges are injected of a given sign is correctly determined, in the high frequency region the real and imaginary parts do not follow the trends predicted by Warburg's impedance. The analysis presented in this paper is relevant to a symmetric cell, in the Nernstian approximation. It can be easily generalized to the case of an asymmetric cell, assuming boundary conditions where the conduction current across the electrodes is proportional to the surface electric field.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
