title: Electrochemistry: an important tool to study and create new sol-gel-derived materials.
abstract: Electrochemical methods can be used to study the structure and properties of sol-gel-derived materials. In addition, they can be used to create new materials and nanostructures. In this Account, these methods and the resulting information and materials obtained from them are described.
