contents The interpretation of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data by fitting it to equivalent circuit models has been a standard method of analysis in electrochemistry. However, the inversion of the data from the frequency domain to a distribution function of relaxation times (DFRT) has gained considerable attention for impedance data analysis, as it can reveal more detailed information about the underlying electrochemical processes without requiring a priori knowledge. The focus of this paper is to provide a general procedure for obtaining analytically the DFRT from an impedance model, assuming an elemental Debye relaxation model as the kernel. The procedure consists of first representing the impedance function in terms of the Fox $H$-function, which possesses many useful properties particularly that its Laplace transform is again an $H$-function. From there the DFRT is obtained by two successive iterations of inverse Laplace transforms. In the passage, one can easily obtain an expression for the response function to a step excitation. The procedure is tested and verified on some known impedance models.
