Carbon-based nanomaterials have rapidly advanced over the last few decades. Fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphene and its derivatives, graphene oxide, nanodiamonds, and carbon-based quantum dots have been developed and intensively studied. Among them, fullerenes have attracted increasing research attention due to their unique chemical and physical properties, which have great potential in a wide range of applications. In this article, we offer a comprehensive review of recent progress in the synthesis and the chemical and physical properties of fullerenes and related composites. The review begins with the introduction of various methods for the synthesis of functionalized fullerenes. A discussion then follows on their chemical and physical properties. Thereafter, various intriguing applications, such as using carbon nanotubes as nanoreactors for fullerene chemical reactions, are highlighted. Finally, this review concludes with a summary of future research, major challenges to be met, and possible solutions.

“…There are two peaks at 2y of 16.961 and 19.851 that do not fit to this crystallographic structure. This can be explained by the presence in the C 60 powder of heavier fullerenes, such as C 70 [8]. After the usage of the C 60 powder as a source material at 410 1C for 5 months, these peaks become less sharp ( Fig.…”

“…5(a). Only a weak and broad (0 0 2) peak corresponding to the C 60 hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure [7,8] is observed. The absence of the other peaks as well as of (0 0 l ) higher order diffraction peaks implies an almost amorphous layer.…”

“…Other structures of organic solar cells are organic single-layer solar cells, bi-layer (p-n junction) solar cells, inverted solar cells and tandem solar cells. The active layer of the BJH solar cell architecture most often uses conjugated polymers [10,12] as donors and different types of acceptors such as fullerene derivatives [13,14], small molecular compounds [15] and nanoparticles [16]. In 1995, Heeger et al [17] first invented and described the structure of an organic photovoltaic cell with a BJH layer as the active layer.…”

New 6-CF3-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolines with a methyl and/or phenyl group attached to the pyrazole core (Molx (x = 1, 2, 3, 4)) were synthesized and characterized in terms of their optoelectronic applications: photovoltaic and electroluminescence. The fluorescence emissions of the investigated phenyl-decorated pyrazoloquinolines is caused by the photoinduced charge transfer p process occurring between the phenyl substituent and the pyrazoloquinoline core, while 1,3-dimethyl-6-CF3-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline exhibits an π,π*-type emission. The number of phenyls and their substitution positions modulate both emission properties and HOMO energy levels. Next, the bulk heterojunction BHJ solar cells based on 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b] quinoline derivatives with architecture ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PDT + Molx/Al were fabricated. The organic active layer was a blend of Molx and poly(3-decylthiophene-2,5-diyl). The complex refractive index and the layer thickness of the organic solar cells were determined using a spectroscopic ellipsometer Woollam M2000 (J.A. Woollam Co., Inc., Lincoln, NE, USA) and CompleteEASE software. For solar devices with the best value of power efficiency of approximately 0.38%, the thickness of the active layer (Mol3 + PDT) was 111 nm, with a short-circuit current density of JSC = 32.81 μA/cm2 and an open–circuit voltage of VOC = 0.78 V. Finally, we demonstrated double-layer light-emitting diodes with an organic active layer (Molx + PVK) and an electron transporting material layer, ETM (2-[3,5-bis(4-phenyl-2-quinolyl)phenyl]-4-phenylquinoline (Tris-Q). Bright bluish-green light originating from the active layer was observed in the double-layer device, ITO/PEDOT:PSS/active layer/ETM/Ca/A. The active layer was a mixture of PV-doped 1H-pyrazolo[3, 4-b]quinoline dyes. An OLED device was constructed by employing Molx as an emitter, which gave a deep bluish-green emission with the spectra range of 481–506 nm. The best value of the maximum brightness at approximately 1436.0 cd/m2 was achieved for a diode based on Mol3 (1-phenyl-3-phenyl-6-CF3-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline) and [R1 = Ph, R3 = Ph and R6 = CF3]. The current efficiency was up to 1.26 cd/A at 506 nm with a CIE of 0.007, 0.692.
