Abstract

This review provides an overview of some exciting, new as well as somewhat older, directions in sol-gel electrochemical applications of silicates and composite silicate electrodes. Rather than provide an exhaustive account of all the many papers that have been published on sol-gel electrochemistry and composite sol-gel electrodes, we prefer to illustrate the versatility of sol-gel chemistry by a few select examples which on the one hand illustrate the power entailed in sol-gel technology for electrochemical applications, and on the other hand point to hot electrochemical fields in which more research is due and exciting developments are to be expected. We start this review with a brief historical perspective. The inorganic sol-gel and silicone electrochemistry fields are both rather old though never extensively dealt with particularly when it comes to sensing applications. In contrast, the sol-gel electrochemistry of inorganic-organic hybrids is a relatively young field whose importance was recognized only in the last 30 years, and despite, or maybe even owing to the late recognition it is being very extensively studied nowadays. The use of composite electrodes for sensing and other applications is emphasized in this review, and the fast evolving electrodriven deposition techniques are reviewed.
