The SAM was fabricated on indium-tin-oxide (ITO) and quartz by amide bonding. It was characterized bq contact angle, UV spectrum. and cyclic voltammetry. The mild fabrication conditions and the stability of the SAM provides a way to build three-dimensional structure more easily.展开更多

The first monolayers were fabricated on hydrophilic indium-tin-oxide (ITO), quartz, and mica by esterification reaction. The multilayers were characterized by contact angle and UV spectrum. The photoelectric conversion properties of both multilayer films were studied.展开更多
