1. A method of determining the oxidation state of a compound, said method comprising:

  • disconnecting an electrode from an electrochemical cell comprising said compound to allow said cell to reach an open circuit potential (OCP);

    connecting said electrochemical cell to an externally applied potential equivalent to said open circuit potential; and

    detecting a resulting current if said current exists wherein the magnitude of said current is a measure of the oxidation state of said compound.
