Sol-Gel Derived Composite Ceramic Carbon Electrodes

Abstract

Sol-gel electrochemistry is gaining popularity as a versatile general method for the production of inorganic-organic electrodes and electrochemical sensors. Carbon-ceramic electrodes constitute a fine example that demonstrates the disadvantages, capabilities and promise of sol-gel electrochemistry. The compositions, configurations and chemistry of carbon ceramic electrodes are reviewed. Application for diverse fields of electrochemistry, including electrochemical sensing, biosensing and energy storage cells are reviewed.
