Application

Octylamine can be used as:
  • A surfactant in the synthesis of mesoporous nickel hydroxy nitrates for fuel cell applications.
  • A structure-directing agent to prepare sandwich-type ZnS/octylamine nanosheets, applicable in the fabrication of optical and electronic devices.
  • An organic fuel in the reduction of ferric nitrate to magnetic particles having a high magnetic moment.
  • A solvent and intercalation agent in the synthesis of ultra-expanded carbon-containing vanadium disulfide composite materials.

Quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as alternative or complementary tools to organic fluorescent dyes currently used in bioimaging. QDs hold several advantages over conventional fluorescent dyes including greater photostability and a wider range of excitation/emission wavelengths. However, recent work suggests
