The Theoretical Description for the Perylaldehyde Aldoxyme Anodic Electrochemical Determination, Assisted by the Novel Squaraine Dye Composite with Copper(ii) Sulfide Nanoparticles

In this work the perillaldehyde aldoxime electrochemical determination on an anode, modified by squaraine dye composite with copper sulfide nanoparticles is analyzed. The electroanalytical process involves the formation of trivalent copper species, capable to oxidize the analyte by two parallel mechanisms. The correspondent mathematical model, correspondent to both of them, has been developed and analyzed by means of linear stability theory and bifurcation analysis. The model analysis clearly shows that the composite of a squaraine dye in organic phase and bivalent copper sulfide in the inorganic phase may be an efficient electrode modifier for perillaldehyde aldoxime electrochemical determination on an anode. The electroanalytical process will be mostly kinetically-controlled with the possibility of the transfer to diffusion-controlled mode. On the other hand, both oscillatory and monotonic instabilities may be realized in the electroanalytical process, and their probability will depend on the direction of the electroanalytical scenario in the concrete conditions, due to the possibility of the formation of ionic compounds in the pre-surface layer.
