1-Octanethiol

To make the shell for CdSe/CdS quantum dots, OT can be employed as a sulfur precursor. As it improves the electron extraction from the nanorod and TiO2 interface, it creates ligands that aid in increasing the power efficiency of hetero-junction nanorod sensitive solar cells. The dispersion of these colloidal particles in various sample solutions may be accomplished using OT-based stabilized coating on copper nanoparticles (CuNPs). By forming a monolayer on the gold source-drain electrode surfaces of bottom-contact thin-film transistors (TFTs), it can be employed to enhance charge injection.
