Abstract
Chronoamperometry has been performed on ferrocene embedded in silica and zirconia gels. The diffusion coefficient of ferrocene was measured along the sol–gel–xerogel transformations. Such electrochemical measurements are a sensitive probe of the structural and textural changes occurring in the sol–gel process.Keywords
