Sol-Gel Electrodes (Polythiazyl ones, too.)
As much as I too dislike starting another thread on the topic of electrodes, I do not believe that this has been specifically discussed in depth. That
said:
In the course of my reading I have come across a seemingly simple way of creating Sb/SnO2 electrodes: http://doc.utwente.nl/14548/1/Cobianu97tin.pdf
It is an article dated from 1997, and as such it it indeed possible that everyone has already been over the method, however alkoxide sol-gel methods
seem to be quite useful for rapidly creating electrodes. There was also some discussion of the ability to use SiO2 as a substrate.
Another related bit:
"Method for coating surface of inactive granules"
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5064690.html
This can likely be used to convert activated graphite into SnO2 electrodes with a simple dip.
Ethoxides are also quite easily synthesized via electrolysis in anhydrous conditions.
Edit: I should also like to note the potential of Polythiazyl as an electrode, specifically in the formation of chlorates, bromates, and the like:

Polythiazyl Bromide is also noted to be highly metallic, and potentially resistant to being degraded by the formation of Chlorates, there are also
likely Polythiazyl Chlorides and Fluorides which may offer more resistance.
