We have modified and stabilized the ruthenium surface by depositing a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of 1-hexadecanethiol on a polycrystalline ruthenium thin film. The growth mechanism, dynamics, and stability of these monolayers were studied. SAMs, deposited under ambient conditions, on piranha-cleaned and piranha + HSO cleaned substrates were compared to monolayers formed on H-radical-cleaned Ru surfaces. We found that alkanethiols on H-radical-cleaned Ru formed densely packed monolayers that remained stable when kept in a nitrogen atmosphere. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows a distinct sulfur peak (BE = 162.3 eV), corresponding to metal-sulfur bonding. When exposed to ambient conditions, the SAM decayed over a period of hours.
我们通过在多晶钌薄膜上沉积自组装单层(SAM)来修饰和稳定钌表面。研究了这些单层的生长机制、动力学和稳定性。在环境条件下沉积的 SAM 在经过过氧酸清洁和过氧酸 + HSO 清洁的基底上与在 H 自由基清洁的 Ru 表面上形成的单层进行了比较。我们发现,H 自由基清洁的 Ru 上的烷硫醇形成了密集排列的单层,当保存在氮气气氛中时仍然稳定。X 射线光电子能谱(XPS)显示出明显的硫峰(BE = 162.3 eV),对应于金属-硫键合。当暴露于环境条件时,SAM 在数小时内降解。
