The development of innovative electrochemical storage systems, such as solid-state batteries, is critical for achieving climate neutrality and sustainability goals. Several hurdles must be overcome before such technologies are ready for the market. Impedance spectroscopy is a powerful method for characterizing the electrical transport properties of new materials and for monitoring systems in operation. Although it is an older measurement technique, the interpretation of data for inhomogeneous solid-state systems lacks established concepts for reliable results. Therefore, we use 3D electrical network models for spatially-resolved transport simulations and systematic investigation of the influence of sample microstructure and solid-solid interface morphology. The material-specific transport quantities derived from 1D models (e.g., brick layer model) sometimes exhibit inaccuracies of several orders of magnitude. In addition, the impedance response of the system exhibits geometric signatures that cannot be adequately represented in physically motivated circuit models, e.g., current constriction phenomena.
