Chronoamperometric response of electrochemical reaction diffusion system: a new theoretical and numerical investigation for EC2 scheme

Abstract

This paper introduces a novel mathematical model for chronoamperometric analysis of electrochemical reactions in the EC2 scheme. Utilizing the homotopy perturbation method, we address the highly nonlinear reaction–diffusion equations, even under non-steady state conditions. We offer an approximate analytical expression for species O and R concentrations, along with sensitivity analysis on diffusion and kinetic parameters. Results under steady state conditions validate our model against prior findings. Additionally, we provide a numerical solution using Matlab and Maple software, demonstrating satisfactory agreement with experimental data.
