The field of spectroelectrochemistry dates back to 1964 when the first work was reported by Kuwana, et al. [171]. The authors described the use of indium tin oxide (ITO), coated on glass, as an OTE for UV/Vis-transmission spectroelectrochemical measurements of several inorganic and organic redox analytes. The field has evolved over the years to encompass research on a variety of topics new electrode development, thin-layer cell design, and construction. Additionally, many novel measurement schemes have been developed for material characterization, structure-function studies of biomolecules, and environmental contaminant monitoring [172-175]. Several different OTEs have been used along the way, with the most common type being ITO [173].
