Introduction to the Corrosion Research Knowledge Base

This knowledgebase contains all you need to understand potentiostats, electrodes and how to use them to perform for example coating research or analyze paint. It will give an introduction into Bode and Nyquist Plot, explain the important electrochemical techniques  and how to perform equivalent circuit fitting.

Sources

Everyone has a different way of explaining and everyone has different ways to learn. Usually, it is smart to consult multiple literature sources, so one can decide which is more helpful and suitable according to their background knowledge and experiences. To create this Corrosion Knowledge base, some books and white papers were used. Our main sources were the following:

  • Allen J. Bard, Larry R. Faulkner, Electrochemical Methods: Fundamentals and Applications, 2nd Edition, 2001, ISBN: 978-0-471-04372-0
