Modelling of passive films: complementarity and applicability to the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis
Résumé
A review of the published models to describe the passivation of metallic materials is proposed. The objective is to illustrate the importance of the selection of a model considering their complementarity. The discussion is based on an analysis to assess whether the mass transport in the film must be taken into account or not in the modelling of the electrochemical impedance.
