pyEchem

Processing, analyzing, and plotting electrochemical data.

The code in this repository is directed towards the electrochemical data encountered in the Ravnsbæk Group at Aarhus University.

The current types of electrochemical experiments include galvanostatic cycling (GC), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT).

Current potentiostats (battery cyclers) include those from Biologic, MTI, and Maccor.

Setup and installation

The following guidelines assume that the user runs a conda distribution, i.e., Anaconda or Miniconda. If these guidelines are followed, all dependencies for the pyEchem code will be installed.

Create a new pyechem conda environment

• It is highly recommended to run the code in a conda environment dedicated to the pyEchem library. If the user does not already have that, such a conda environment, called pyechem and using the latest Python 3 version, can be created from:

  conda create -n pyechem python=3

Activate pyechem conda environment

• When the user has a pyechem conda environment, the user should activate the pyechem conda environment:

  conda activate pyechem

Install dependencies

• Navigate to the main pyEchem directory. Using conda, dependencies present in the run.txt file in the requirements directory will be installed from the conda-forge channel, when running:

  conda install -c conda-forge --file requirements/run.txt

• Using pip, additional dependencies present in the pip_requirements.txt file in the requirements directory will be installed, when running:

  pip install -r requirements/pip_requirements.txt

• If you are running on a Windows OS, run:

  pip install -r requirements/pip_windows.txt

• If you are running on a Unix OS (Mac OS or Linux), run:

  conda install -c conda-forge --file requirements/conda_unix.txt

Now, all pyEchem dependencies are installed for the pyechem conda environment. You are now ready to run the code present in the pyEchem repository.
