On the Proper Use of a Warburg Impedance
Journal of The Electrochemical SocietyMark E. Orazem, et. al

Recent battery papers commonly employ interpretation models for which diffusion impedances are in series with interfacial impedance. The models are fundamentally flawed because the diffusion impedance is inherently part of the interfacial impedance.

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy experiments are inherently nonlinear for systems affected by faradaic reactions. The methods used to determine whether an experiment is sufficiently linear include observation of current as a function of potential, known as Lissajous plots, measurement of total harmonic distortion, and post-experiment assessment of consistency with the Kramers–Kronig relations.
Utility of Lissajous Plots for Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Measurements: Detection of Non-Linearity and Non-Stationarity
Journal of The Electrochemical SocietyM. A. Zabara, et. al

Correct interpretation of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) data is bound to the linearity and stationarity of the measurement. Current-Potential traces, also known as Lissajous figures for EIS measurements, contain valuable information regarding the linearity and the stationarity of the obtained data. Here, the behavior of the Lissajous figures is analyzed for various scenarios.
