Abstract The advantages of lithographic-galvanic (LIGA) fabricated microstructured honeycomb electrodes are demonstrated for spectroelectrochemical cells with respect to the response time (the time necessary to generate the product in a sufficient layer thickness close to the electrode to be detectable by UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy) and to the conversion of the redox system in solution under thin-layer conditions. Transmission UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy for several electrochemical applications can be performed in a special spectroelectrochemical cell based on the LIGA electrode and the two quartz rods, forming the walls of the cell and conducting the light beam through the cell. They are limiting the diffusion layer at the structured part of the working LIGA electrode. These microstructured LIGA-electrodes can be used as well defined models of porous electrodes at which redox processes occur under finite diffusion conditions. Such electrodes have been successfully used in the voltammetric and spectroelectrochemical study of various redox systems in both aqueous and non-aqueous solvents. The possibility to fabricate the well defined microstructures from various organic conducting polymers is demonstrated by the electrochemical deposition of polypyrrole in moulded LIGA-forms at high current densities in aqueous solutions.
