Abstract:
We explored the temperature-dependent dynamics of the electrochemical oxidation of thiourea under potential-control mode and found complex oscillations with one large peak and one small peak per period. Adjusting the temperature caused the relative amplitudes and positions of the two peaks to vary. Experiments showed that there were two distinct oscillatory regimes as a function of the external current, and at some temperatures, three-frequency quasiperiodic oscillations occurred for current densities between the two oscillatory windows. We examined the species present and the component reactions by employing cyclic voltammetry and electrolysis-HPLC-MS in the two oscillatory regimes. Adsorption and desorption of multiple species, including water and chloride, contribute to the rich dynamical phenomena that were observed.
