Optically Transparent Electrodes for Spectroelectrochemistry

The use of electrically conductive diamond as an optically transparent electrode is a new field of research [50,52,117,118]. Diamond possesses attractive qualities as both an electrode and an optically transparent material, making it an obvious choice for use as an OTE in spectroelectro-chemical measurements. Diamond OTEs exhibit several technologically useful properties (1) the possibility of transmission measurements from the near-UV to the far-IR (0.225-100 pm) (2) low background current (3) wide working potential window (4) good responsiveness for many [Pg.239]
