Application

1,6-Hexanedithiol is a versatile alkanethiol with several significant applications across various fields. In electronics and optoelectronics, it is used to functionalize molybdenum disulphide (MoS2), a two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD). Additionally, it plays a key role in the creation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gallium arsenic (GaAs) doped cadmium sulfide quantum dots, contributing to advancements in biosensor technology and solar energy applications. Furthermore, its ability to immobilize gold nanoparticles opens up potential uses in biomedical and bioanalytical applications. Despite its fatty, meaty odor, careful usage ensures it meets safety standards, such as not exceeding 1.00 ppm in food, as indicated by FEMA.
