General description

Hexadecylamine, also known as cetylamine, is commonly used in amidation reactions to introduce amide functional groups. It serves as a key building block for surfactants and plays a significant role in catalysis and ligand synthesis.Additionally, hexadecylamine is employed to modify functional groups in various organic compounds.

Application

  • Interfacial structuring of liquids: Hexadecylamine is explored for its role in the solvent-assisted interfacial association of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes and amphiphiles, offering potential advancements in the structuring of liquids for various industrial and scientific applications (Bak et al., 2023).
  • Efficient light-to-thermal conversion: Additionally, hexadecylamine is used in ZnO nanorods loading with fatty amine as composite phase change materials (PCMs) device, enhancing light-to-thermal and electro-to-thermal energy conversion, applicable in energy storage technologies (Cao et al., 2023).

Copper electrocatalysts have been shown to selectively reduce carbon dioxide to hydrocarbons. Nevertheless, the absence of a systematic study based on time-resolved spectroscopy renders the functional agent-either metallic or oxidative Copper-for the selectivity still undecidable. Herein, we develop an operando
