Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) represent a unique class of electrode materials whose hallmark is high electrical conductivity and high optical transparency in the visible spectral range. They are renowned as electrode materials in solar cells, organic light-emitting diodes, and flat-panel displays, on both rigid and flexible substrates. [1,2] A contemporary challenge in materials chemistry is to discover ways of increasing the surface area of TCOs while retaining their conductivity and transparency, a combination of properties that would, for example, enable a new platform for high-efficiency dye-immobilized electrochemiluminescence (ECL) displays, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, and (bio)chemical sensors.[3]Herein, we report the synthesis of mesoporous antimonydoped tin oxide films dubbed meso-ATOs, interesting candidates for a new type of electrode material that offers the unique combination of high-surface-area ordered mesoscale pores together with high electrical conductivity and high optical transparency, and further we show that it is capable of supporting chemically tethered ruthenium-based dyes, enabling it to function as an efficient and reusable solid-state ECL-based sensor.Why has it taken about two decades of research to achieve this sought after goal? One can trace the difficulty to a number of adverse contributing factors, one of which is the poor affinity between sol-gel precursors of conductive inorganic materials and the organic template-directing mesophase under the nonaqueous evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) conditions required to grow conducting mesoporous metal oxide films.[4] Another problem is that high conductivity is usually associated with high crystallinity, and for mesoporous transition metal oxide materials this necessitates crystallization of the as-synthesized amorphous metal oxide framework into a nanocrystalline version, which usually results in strain-induced collapse of channel and/or cavity walls of the mesopores. So far, only mesoporous tin-doped indium oxide (meso-ITO) materials have been reported, but either their conductivity is very low due to low crystallinity [5] or their conductivity is reasonable but the mesostructure can only be templated with a specialty polymer surfactant.
