Although many electrochemical gas sensors have been reported, electrochemical gas sensors based on liquid collection constitute a smaller subset. Minimally, a liquid interface based electrochemical gas sensor is composed of two electrodes and an ion conducting electrolyte. There is a large number of possible arrangements of these parts, and many choices exist for their composition and preparation methods. This results in a diverse and rich technology now available for gas sensing. The measurement of some analyte gases of interest, notably ozone, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen peroxide, formaldehyde, ammonia, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide are specifically discussed. Finally, the recent reviews that are likely to be the most relevant to the further development of electrochemical detection approaches for gases with a liquid collection interface are cited and discussed.
