Abstract
Electrochemical sensors (100) include at least two electrodes (110A, HOB), over which an electrolyte (114) is formed. The electrodes are isolated from one another in order for reduction/oxidation reactions to occur at the electrodes and for an electric current to flow therebetween. The present disclosure describes the use of a barrier (121) in the electrochemical sensor that is configured to isolate electrodes from one another for the purpose of preventing electrode shorting. Additionally, the physical structure of the barrier can also act as a stencil for shaping the electrodes.
