Boost your Hydrogen Fuel Cell and Electrolyzer performance with EIS analysis

Learn how our MegaEIS System can help you measure and improve the performance of your fuel cells and electrolyzers.

Why EIS analysis matters?

Unlock Power with EIS Analysis

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) analysis is the ultimate technique to unlock the secrets of your electrochemical devices. Whether you are working with hydrogen fuel cells, electrolyzers, batteries, or any other system that involves electric current and chemical reactions, EIS analysis can give you a complete picture of what’s going on inside your devices. A standout feature of the EIS method is its unique ability to analyze your device seamlessly, during its standard operating conditions.

Gateway to Advanced Fuel Cell Understanding

EIS is a method used in electrochemistry to measure the impedance of a system over a range of frequencies, which can give useful information about the system's response to different timescales of perturbation. This can be particularly useful for studying fuel cells, as it can provide information about the different processes occurring within the cell, such as the reaction kinetics at the electrode surfaces, the diffusion of reactants and products, and the ohmic resistance of the electrolyte.

Fine-tune Impedance Spectrum

From the impedance spectrum, you can learn about the key factors that influence the performance and durability of your devices. You can extract valuable information about the physical and chemical processes that occur inside your devices, and how they affect their impedance characteristics. EIS analysis can help you fine-tune your devices, boost their performance and efficiency, and extend their lifetime.

Areas of usual application

Whether you need to analyse electrolyzers, fuel cells or batteries, we have the right solution for you.

Electrolyzers

Electrolyzers use electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, which can be used as clean and renewable fuels. For detailed EIS characterization, you can use our potentiostats for single cell research or for short stack evaluation. Our EIS source models can be used for characterization of full electrolyzer stacks.

Fuel Cells and Stacks

Fuel cells and fuel cell stacks convert hydrogen and oxygen into electricity and water, providing clean and efficient energy for various applications. We provide potentiostats for single cell research, zero-voltage loads for high-power fuel cell EIS characterization under high current conditions over 1000 Amperes, or EIS analysis solution for powerful stacks with multichannel EIS acquisition capability.

Batteries

Lithium batteries, redox-flow batteries, etc. are essential for storing and delivering energy from renewable sources. They offer advantages such as long lifetime, good scalability, and seamless integration in the electrical grid. For batteries, you can use our high-current potentiostats or high-power EIS analyzers combining load and source modes in one device.
