Two Electrode Collector–Generator Method for the Detection of Electrochemically or Photoelectrochemically Produced O2

A dual working electrode technique for the in situ production and quantification of electrochemically or photoelectrochemically produced O2 is described. This technique, termed a collector-generator cell, utilizes a transparent fluorine doped tin oxide electrode to sense O2. This setup is specifically designed for detecting O2 in dye sensitized photoelectrosynthesis cells.
