Abstract
Impedance spectroscopy (IS) is an indispensable method of exploring electrical properties of materials. In this review, we provide an overview on the specific applications of IS measurement in the investigations of various electrical properties of materials under high pressure, including electric conduction in bulk and grain boundary, dielectric properties, ionic conduction, and electrostrictive effect. Related studies are summarized to demonstrate the method of analyzing different electrical transport processes with various designed equivalent circuits of IS and reveal some interesting phenomena of electrical properties of materials under high pressure.
