Preferred frequency responses to oscillatory inputs in an electrochemical cell model: linear amplitude and phase...

We investigate the dynamic mechanisms of generation of amplitude and phase resonance in a phenomenological electrochemical cell model in response to sinusoidal inputs. We describe how the attributes of the impedance and phase profiles change as the participating physicochemical parameters vary within a range corresponding to the existence of stable nodes and foci in the corresponding autonomous system, thus extending previous work that considered systems close to limit cycle regimes. The method we use permits us to understand how changes in these parameters generate amplifications of the cell's response at the resonant frequency band and captures some important nonlinear effects.
