⚙️ Principle of Operation
- Controlled Excitation: Applies a specific voltage (Potentiostat mode) or current (Galvanostat mode) to the electrochemical cell to simulate real reaction conditions.
- Response Measurement: High-precision recording of the instantaneous current or voltage response signal from the cell.
Data Analysis: The measured results are converted into I–V curves, Impedance Spectra (EIS), or other electrochemical plots. These plots are then analyzed to decipher the system's reaction kinetics, resistance, and capacitance behavior, providing a comprehensive understanding of the overall electrochemical characteristics.
