Alkylphosphate self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were prepared on Nb-doped SrTiO3 (Nb-STO) conducting metal oxide substrates. Unlike thiols on gold, the alkylphosphate SAMs on Nb-STO exhibited an electrochemical stability over a wide voltage range from -2 to 2 V. Cyclic voltammetry showed that the SAM modification inhibited the electrochemical activity of the underlying conducting substrate with an efficiency dependent on the chain length. Impedance spectroscopy showed that SAM-modified Nb-STO substrates have a significantly higher resistance than bare substrates.
