The authors have applied an advanced set of auto-regressive tools for identifying potentially complex, linear and nonlinear relationships in data, wherein the underlying physical relationships are not well described. In this paper these tools and techniques are described in detail, and the results of the application of these tools to evaluation of diesel engine lubricating oil health (based on ...

Local Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (LEIS) is an emerging discipline in the field of electrochemical research. It is based on the widely accepted Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) technique, a powerful method to determine reaction mechanisms on macroscopic electrodes. When however the electrode represents a heterogeneous behavior, local information is indispensable. This pro...

This article presents an overview of electrochemical sensors that employ nanomaterials and utilize electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for analyte detection. The most widely utilized nanomaterials in impedance sensors are gold (Au) nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Au nanoparticles have been employed in impedance sensors to form electrodes from nanoparticle ensembles and to amplify ...

The electrochemical performance of single wall carbon nanotube ~SWNT!/Nafion composite electrodes were studied in sulfuric acid solutions. Electrochemical oxidation of the highly dispersed SWNTs within the Nafion matrix results in a dramatic morphological change in the SWNTs. As evidenced by transmission electron microscopy, small bundles of straight-line SWNTs change into curved bundles with r...
