Solid‐state electrochemistry is applied to detect the presence of chromium centres with high oxidation states in chromium‐doped cassiterite and tin‐sphene ceramic pigmenting systems. Voltammetric data indicate that Cr V and Cr IV centres with different coordinative arrangements exist in the studied materials, and yield proton‐assisted reduction processes at +0.95, +0.42 AgCl/Ag in contact with 0.50 M H 2 SO 4 . Electrochemical measurements are correlated with spectroscopic data. The Cr IV and Cr V metal ions display a significant light‐driven electrocatalytic effect on the oxidation of 1,4‐dihydrobenzoquinone and Fe(CN) 6 4– ions that involves the formation of surface‐confined adducts.
