About: Randles circuit

A Randles circuit is an equivalent electrical circuit that consists of an active electrolyte resistance RS in series with the parallel combination of the double-layer capacitance Cdl and an impedance of a faradaic reaction. It is commonly used in Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) for interpretation of impedance spectra, often with a Constant phase element (CPE) replacing the double layer capacity (Cdl).The Randles equivalent circuit is one of the simplest possible models describing processes at the electrochemical interface. In real electrochemical systems, impedance spectra are usually more complicated and, thus, the Randles circuit may not give appropriate results.
