Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) can be used to modify surface properties in a large area, which have wide applications ranging from corrosion inhibition, electronic device fabrication, oil/water separation, to biosensors. In industry, it is required to deposit a monolayer on copper substrate for etch inhibition within a short period of time. This study developed a simple method to satisfy such a need in industry. The SAM was deposited by using octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA) solution. The quality of the prepared ODPA SAM on copper was compared to that of the SAM prepared using octadecanethiol (ODT) on copper. Sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy was applied to characterize the deposited SAMs. It was found that ODPA SAMs prepared with 2 min of deposition time using ODPA solutions with concentrations of 0.05%, 0.1%, and 0.2% only have small numbers of gauche defects, with 80% or more methyl surface coverages compared to ODT SAMs. The deduced methyl group orientations of such ODPA SAMs are similar to that of the ODT SAM methyl groups. This study successfully demonstrated the feasibility of preparing relatively good quality ODPA SAMs on copper using a short deposition time.

Catalysis-based electrical sensing of volatile organic compounds on metal oxide surfaces is a powerful method for molecular discrimination. However, catalyst deactivation caused by the poisoning of catalytic sites by analytes and/or catalyzed products remains a challenge. This study highlights the underestimated role of van der Waals interactions between hydrophobic aliphatic alkyl chains and hydrophilic ZnO surfaces in mitigating catalyst deactivation during aliphatic aldehyde sensing.

Field-effect transistors (FETs) based on two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (2D-MoS) have great potential in electronic and optoelectronic applications, but the performances of these devices still face challenges such as scattering at the contact interface, which results in reduced mobility. In this work, we fabricated high-performance MoS-FETs by inserting self-assembling monolayers (SAMs) between MoS and a SiO dielectric layer. The interface properties of MoS/SiO were studied after the inductions of three different SAM structures including (perfluorophenyl)methyl phosphonic acid (PFPA), (4-aminobutyl) phosphonic acid (ABPA), and octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA).

For years, many efforts in area selective atomic layer deposition (AS-ALD) have focused on trying to achieve high-quality self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), which have been shown by a number of studies to be effective for blocking deposition. Herein, we show that in some cases where a densely packed SAM is not formed, significant ALD inhibition may still be realized. The formation of octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA) SAMs was evaluated on four metal substrates: Cu, Co, W, and Ru.

The formation of octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) from 2-propanol solutions on hydroxylated α-Al2O3(0001) surfaces was studied in situ and in real time at the solid/liquid interface. Time-resolved vibrational spectra from sum-frequency generation (SFG) of C-H stretching modes revealed contributions from ODPA's alkyl backbone and the terminal methyl group as well as vibrational bands that originated from the presence of 2-propanol molecules at the α-Al2O3 surface. 2-Propanol signatures in SFG spectra decreased during SAM formation.
