ELECTROCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION OF CYSTEAMINE AT CARBON FIBER MICRODISK ELECTRODE

The electrooxidation of cysteamine compound was carried out using convolutive cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry and chronoamperomtry techniques at a carbon fiber microdisk electrode in 0. 1 M perchloric acid. The electrooxidation potential (E 0'' ) of cysteamine occurs at + 0.921 V. The mechanistic pathway of electrooxidation process at carbon fiber microelectrode is loss of 1 electron per molecule. The electrode process is controlled mainly by diffusion. The chemical and electrochemical parameters of the investigated system were determined experimentally and verified theoretically via digital simulation method.
