“…One promising approach involves harnessing the unique properties of C 60 and derivatives, incorporating them into catalytic materials, and thereby enhancing their electrocatalytic performance. [120,121] For example, considering membrane-based alkaline electrolysis represents a cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach to hydrogen production, Chen et al [3] suc-cessfully employed an enhanced LLIP method to create C 60 bulk crystals, which were subsequently utilized for the synthesis of thin layers of Pt/C 60 nanosheets (Figure 13a). Atomic Force Microscopy analysis confirmed that the Pt/C 60 nanosheets exhibited a size distribution ranging from 200 to 1000 nm while maintaining a uniform thickness of ≈5 nm.…”

Buckminsterfullerene (C60) and derivatives are significant in the synthesis of efficient electrocatalysts and photocatalysts. This is because of electron acceptor properties and distinctive heterostructure(s) and physicochemical characteristics. High‐performance electrocatalysts and photocatalysts are important therefore in conversions for clean energy. Here a critical assessment of advances in use of C60 and derivatives as heterostructures and “electron buffers” in catalysts are reported. Methodologies for preparing C60 composite catalysts are assessed and categorized and microscopic mechanisms for boosting catalytic performance through C60 and derivatives in important catalytic materials including, semiconductors, carbon‐based metal‐free materials, metal nanoclusters, single atoms, and metal–organic skeletons are established. Important characterizations used with C60 and derivative composites are contrasted and assessed and practical challenges to development are determined. A prospective on future directions and likely outcomes in development of high efficiency electrocatalysts and photocatalysts is provided. It is concluded that C60 and derivatives are advantageous for advanced electrocatalysts and photocatalysts with high structural integrity and boosted electron transport. The findings are expected to be of interest and benefit to researchers and manufacturers for formation of heterostructures and electron buffer areas for significantly boosted catalytic performance.

The use of semiconductor‐based photocatalytic methods has been widespread for a range of applications, including pollution control and energy generation. However, certain analytical concerns limit the effectiveness of these photocatalysts, such as their limited light absorption capacity, physicochemical instability, and large energy band gap. To address these issues, scientists have been exploring integrating carbonaceous materials into photocatalytic systems to enhance their activity. This review focuses specifically on fullerene photocatalysts, a type of carbonaceous photocatalyst that has shown great promise in recent research. Fullerenes, which include C60 and C70, have unique properties that make them ideal for use as photocatalyst amplifiers in combination with other semiconductors or non‐semiconductors. This review summarizes recent research into the use of fullerene‐based materials for a variety of photocatalytic applications, including pollutant degradation, and hydrogen energy production. The efficacy of fullerene‐based photocatalysts is also discussed in recent breakthroughs in photocatalytic mechanisms and synthesis methods, focusing on pollution removal and hydrogen generation. Finally, the review addresses ongoing challenges and opportunities for fullerene‐based photocatalysts. The goal is to contribute to advancements in environmental protection and energy generation.
