Bicontinuous microemulsion (BME)-based hydrogel films were integrated with screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) comprising working, counter, and reference electrodes to form stand-alone, semi-solid-state electrochemical systems that do not require an outer electrolyte solution. The gel network of the BME hydrogel only exists in the microaqueous phase and retains the structure of the entire BME gel. Following gelation, a microaqueous phase with sufficient ionic strength ensured effective ionic conductivity, even in thin gel films. This enabled the electrochemical reaction to proceed using a thin gel film as an electrolyte solution. However, an intact micro-oil phase with no gel network enabled efficient extraction from an external oil solution and exhibited rapid electrochemistry that was comparable to that of a BME solution. Cyclic voltammograms of lipophilic redox species in oil using the gel-integrated SPE system demonstrated successfully in the oil itself and in the air with dropped oil onto the system.
