In this study, the impedance response of a porous electrode based on LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 was investigated using an impedance model including the following features: Butler-Volmer kinetics; double layer capacitance; solid phase concentration and potential gradients; electrolyte phase concentration and potential according to the concentrated electrolyte theory; particle size distribution; and an empirical relation between equilibrium potential and state of charge. The model was evaluated by fitting it to experimental results using different electrolytes and states of charge. In addition, the characteristic parameters for the electrode were obtained from the fitting results.
