Abstract: 
Understanding the principles of operation of a photoconversion device is important to improve the design of the devices. For this reason, useful tools are needed to characterize and model photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical devices. To achieve this goal, this work proposes the use of impedance spectroscopy (IS) to study the performance of copper electrodes for their possible application in the degradation of benzonitrile. Preliminary results indicate that it is important to increase the actual electrode surface area to increase the efficiency of the process, this implies an improvement of charge transfer and capacitive response.
