SOL-GEL MATERIALS IN ELECTROCHEMISTRY

The subject of sol-gel electrochemistry is introduced, starting with a brief account of milestones in its evolution. Then, the types of sol- gel materials that are useful for electrochemistry are presented, foll owed by a description of recent advances in the various fields of sol- gel electrochemistry. Modified electrodes, solid electrolytes, electro chromic devices, and corrosion protection coatings are described. Emer ging fields such as RuO2 supercapacitors and electrochemical synthesis of sol-gel precursors are also addressed.
