Fullerene chemistry encompasses the investigation of closed-cage carbon structures and their extraordinary electronic, optical, and chemical properties. A particularly exciting facet of this field is ...

Fullerenes wrapped up in helical polymer bundles form highly ordered one-dimensional arrays. Making arrays and controlling the molecular order of fullerenes is not an easy task. One-dimensional ...

Hollow football-shaped carbon structures, called fullerenes, have applications in areas ranging from artificial photosynthesis and nonlinear optics, to the production of photoactive films and ...

However, because the fullerene nanowhisker superconductor obtained in this research is lightweight, has a fine fiber-like shape from the initial stage, and maintains that fine, fibrous shape even ...

A fullerene is a carbon compound whose molecule is made up of carbon atoms linked together by single and double bonds to create a closed or partly closed mesh with rings of 5 to 7 atoms. Graphene ...

"The findings open new possibilities for designing efficient, metal-free catalysts - which are more sustainable," says Hao Li (WPI-AIMR, Tohoku University), "This work aligns perfectly with global ...

Fullerene is a cage-shaped molecule that has a lot of potential to boost the efficiency of catalytic systems. It works well as an electron buffer, which improves the efficiency of reactions such as ...

This graphic illustrates a zinc-air battery can use a fullerene-metalloporphyrin cocrystal derived Co, N co-doped carbons as an oxygen reduction reaction catalyst. Zinc-air batteries are an ...

Water purification, gas separation, and storage applications require materials with high sensitivity. Porous graphene, which possesses uniform pore structures and unique adsorption properties, is an ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) It has been known for several years that carbon nanotubes would heat, ignite and luminesce upon exposure to certain types of electromagnetic radiation, including laser light.

Im interstellaren Weltraum gibt es tatsächlich Fullerene. In dieser besonderen Form des Kohlenstoffs bilden die Atome eine Kugeloberfläche aus Fünf- und Sechsecken, ähnlich einem Fußball. Schon vor ...
