General description

1-Decanethiol is an alkanethiol that forms a self-assembled monolayer(SAM) and it can be coated as a protective coating on a variety of substrates.

Application

1-Decanethiol can be blended with mercaptohexanol to modify the surface of silver for surface enhancement Raman scattering (SERS) based applications. It can act as a corrosion inhibitor on copper-nickel (CuNi) alloy with an inhibition efficiency of 91%. Zinc doped copper indium sulfide (ZnCuInS2) can be functionalized with 1-decanethiol as a ligand to improve the charge mobility and luminance of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). 1-Decanethiol can be used to improve charge injection by creating a monolayer of this material on gold source-drain electrode surfaces for field-effect transistors (FETs).
