Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of some phosphonic acids as well as the modification of indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates using these phosphonic acids are presented in this thesis. Phosphonic acids have been known to bind strongly to the surface of a number of metal oxides. ITO substrates were reported to be modified with a variety of surface modifiers. Herein the ITO substrates were modified with the chosen phosphonic acids with different functional groups in order to tune the work function and compare the work function changes with the functional group properties.
