“…The reason for that is that the penetration of the porous ITO by water reduces Fresnel reflection and increases transparency. That effect has been already reported in the literature ,. In these conditions, the porous ITO electrode is transparent in the visible range, up to 70 % at 800 nm (see curve a) which is a value over twice higher than previously reported for ITO nanofibers prepared as free‐standing mats .…”

“…Such a structure was not observed before, when the same heat treatment was performed on a free-standing mat. [32] Here, a slow but not destructive vertical collapse of the nanofibers into a compact, macroporous, 3D structure is observed that must be a result of an interaction with polystyrene during calcination.…”

“…The electrode was not affected by these stresses. We applied the same protocol to electrospun ITO nanofibers attached to the glass surface with SnCl 4 as reported before (left sample of Figures S4A–C) . This latter sample was completely detached from the surface.…”

“…We applied the same protocol to electrospun ITO nanofibers attached to the glass surface with SnCl 4 as reported before (left sample of Figures S4A-C). [32] This latter sample was completely detached from the surface. It is thus clear that ITO nanofibers require extreme care in handling whereas the ITO nanofilaments reported here are robust and can thus be applied in analytical protocols involving mechanical stress and contact with flowing solutions, as met in electrochemical and spectroscopic analysis.…”

“…[31] For that reason, some of the early reports [22,23] as well as all of the later applications of ITO nanofibers have been performed using free-standing mats. [27][28][29]32] Unfortunately, the brittleness of those materials makes the procedure still quite difficult to enforce and using it as sensing layer or in large-scale applications remains challenging.…”

A macroporous indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode has been obtained by electrospinning nanofibers from polyvinylpyrrolidone and ITO precursors on a fused silica substrate covered by polystyrene, followed by a heat treatment that induced a drastic modification in the material texture. The resulting electrode structure is consisting of highly interconnected nanofilaments of sizes between 70 and 170 nm. The electrode is robust, fixed to the substrate, transparent in the visible light region, and possesses excellent electrochemical properties in comparison to a planar ITO electrode, that is, improved reversibility with ferrocenedimethanol and greatly enhanced oxidation for ascorbic acid. SEM and XRD measurements confirm ITO formation. This porous ITO electrode can be modified electrochemically with mesostructured methylated silica and applied to a combined electrochemical and spectral detection of industrial dyes (methylene blue, Meldola's blue, and methylene green) from water. For methylene blue analysis, a linear range of detection between 20 nM and 2 μM and a limit of detection of 17 nM are observed. Finally, the spectroelectrochemical analysis of a solution with mixed dyes has been performed.

A review on the preparation methods for porous and transparent metal‐oxide electrodes is provided alongside a discussion of existing and possible electrochemical and electroanalytical applications. The elaboration routes include non‐templated particle deposition, template approaches, physical deposition methods, etching and electrospinning. Applications of such materials are mainly found in energy conversion and storage (photovoltaics, water splitting) and electroanalysis.
