Abstract

Two procedures, viz., the epsilon convergence algorithm and Pade approximation scheme, are used to evaluate the current function values, graphical representation of the output, and verification of the model using existing data are carried out. For theoretical simulations of voltammograms, closed form of rational expressions using Pade approximant for the response of various reactions schemes involving soluble reactant and product, as well as coupled chemical process to an imposed linear scans were derived. Similarly, it was demonstrated epsilon convergence as an alternative procedure is much easier and elegant to use by an electroanalytical chemist with extreme ease.
