Abstract
A mathematical model of mediated bioelectrocatalysis is restudied in this paper. Here He’s Homotopy perturbation method is implemented to give approximate and analytical solutions of steady-state non-linear reaction diffusion equation containing a non-linear term related to Michaelis–Menten kinetics of the enzymatic reaction. Approximate analytical expressions for mediator concentration and current have been derived for all values of saturation parameter α and reaction diffusion parameter k for the various types of boundary conditions. The Homotopy perturbation method which produces the solutions in terms of convergent series, requiring no linearization or small perturbation. These analytical results are compared with numerical results (Matlab program) and are found to be in good agreement.
