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.
