Occurrence
Reported found in potato.
Uses
2-Ethylhexanethiol can be used as a capping agent on the gold surface for the development of chemiresistive vapor sensors. It also forms a SAM on copper indium sulfide (CuInS
2) which can be used as an active layer on organic electronic devices such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and solar cells.
Definition
ChEBI: 2-Ethyl-1-hexanethiol is an alkanethiol.
General Description
2-Ethylhexanethiol is an organothiol that forms a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a variety of surfaces such as metal oxides and metals. It modifies the surface by acting as a corrosion inhibitor and increases the stability of the surface.
