Zahner Analysis

The new Zahner Analysis software allows the user to easily evaluate their data. Zahner Analysis software can evaluate the following measurement techniques

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)
Current-Potential curves (I/E)
Tafel slopes
Butler-Volmer curve
Max power and Fill factor
Cyclic voltammogram (CV)

Besides, the multiple above-mentioned techniques, Zahner Analysis software can also calculate the Kramer Kronig and ZHIT for the impedance measurements. In addition, Significance plots are also provided to visualize the significance of each electrical element used in fitting vs frequency.

For CV, peak positions, height and the area under peak are easily calculated.

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy

The Zahner Analysis software allows different graphical representations of the impedance measurement i.e., Bode plot, Nyquist plot and admittance plot etc. The Zahner Analysis not only fit the measured spectrum but also show the significance of each electrical element used in the fitting. In addition, a total error in the fitting is also calculated.

Zwei-pole (Two-pole) Hilber Transformation - ZHIT - is also incorporated in the Zahner Analysis software. With one click, the Zahner Analysis calculates the impedance graph from the phase and made corrections to your measurements.
