“…Supercapacitors have also benefited from poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and PCBM-derived P3HT:PCBM nanocomposites [ 161 , 162 ]. Kausar (2022) has very recently published an elaborate review on fullerene applications in supercapacitors [ 163 ]. With respect to fullerenes, polyaniline emeraldine base/C60 nanocomposites were the most successful polymer nanocomposites for electrochemical energy storage applications (supercapacitor applications).…”

Electricity consumption is an integral part of life on earth. Energy generation has become a critical topic, addressing the need to fuel the energy demands of consumers. Energy storage is an offshoot of the mainstream process, which is now becoming a prime topic of research and development. Electrochemical energy storage is an attractive option, serving its purpose through fuel cells, batteries and supercapacitors manipulating the properties of various materials, nanomaterials and polymer substrates. The following review presents a comprehensive report on the use of carbon-based polymer nanocomposites, specifically graphene and fullerene-based polymer nanocomposites, towards electrochemical energy storage. The achievements in these areas, and the types of polymer nanocomposites used are listed. The areas that lack of clarity and have a dearth of information are highlighted. Directions for future research are presented and recommendations for fully utilizing the benefits of the graphene/fullerene polymer nanocomposite system are proposed.

“…Traditional fillers have been used such as carbon-based nanomaterials and in particular nanotubes, fullerenes, graphene and oxidized graphene (graphene oxide), in order to improve the mechanical and thermal properties of the oil-based materials, which is possible thanks to the excellent mechanical, thermal and electric conductivity properties of these additives [88][89][90][91]. Nanostructured silicon-based fillers can also be used, as proposed by Tsujimoto and colleagues [87].…”

One of the main criteria for ecological sustainability is that the materials produced for common use are green. This can include the use of biomaterials and materials that are environmentally friendly, biodegradable and produced at low cost. The exploration of natural resources as sustainable precursors leads to the production of biopolymers that are useful for 3D printing technology. Recently, waste vegetable oils have been found to be a good alternative source for the production of biopolymers in various applications from the engineering to the biomedicine. In this review, the processes for the synthesis of vegetable oil-based biomaterials are described in detail. Moreover, the functionalization strategies to improve the mechanical properties of these materials and the cell-material interaction for their potential use as micro-structured scaffolds in regenerative medicine are discussed.

“…Carbon‐based materials are widely used due to their various types, wide availability, excellent pore structure, numerous active sites, and stable surface charges [2]. Fullerene molecules (C 60 , C 70 ) reinforce polymeric nanocomposites to enhance their mechanical, optical, thermal, charge transport, and energy storage properties [3]. The electrical conductivity of polymer/fullerene nanomaterials directly affects their specific capacitance [4].…”

IntroductionLayered double hydroxides (LDHs) are widely studied anionite clays consisting of positively‐charged hydroxide nanosheets which is described by the general formula: [M(II)1−xM(III)x(OH)2][An−·mH2O], where M(II) and M(III) are the divalent (e.g., Mg2+, Zn2+, Ca2+, Co2+, Ni2+, etc.) and trivalent (e.g., Al3+, Fe3+, Cr3+, etc.) metal ions, An− and H2O is the interlamellar anion (e.g., Cl¯, Br¯, NO3¯, CO32¯, SO42¯, SeO42¯) for charge‐neutralization and hydrated state, respectively. They have been widely used in different industry sectors, in materials science and research. Polymer/LDH nanocomposites have gained significant attention in recent years.Carbon‐based nanomaterials, like fullerene, carbon nanotubes (CNT), graphene and graphene oxide have attracted significant attention. Fullerene molecules (C60, C70) are used as reinforcing material for polymers to improve their mechanical, thermal, optical, energy storage and charge transport properties.ObjectivesC60‐doped ZnAl‐layered double hydroxide/polyvinyl alcohol nanocomposites were successfully synthesized and their photocatalytic activity for photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) synthetic dye was quantitatively analyzed by ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy. The effect of C60 on the optical, structural, morphological properties, and photocatalytic activity of LDHs was investigated, and the impact of C60/LDH mass ratio and aging time on the properties was also studied.MethodsFullerene‐doped ZnAl‐LDH/PVA nanocomposites were synthesized via urea hydrolysis and coprecipitation‐coformation method. First, 10 wt% PVA/water solution (40 mL) is added into the mixed solution containing 0.015 mol of Zn(NO3)2·6H2O and 0.005 mol of Al2(SO4)3·9H2O and titrated by 2 M of NaOH and 1 M of NaHCO3 mixed base solution to adjust pH 9. The obtained white slurry was shaken very hard and aged for 1 year. The obtained samples were marked by the mass percentage of C60 as 1% C60@LDH/PVA, 10% C60@LDH/PVA, 20% C60@LDH/PVA, and 60% C60@LDH/PVA.Results and DiscussionThe basal spacing of C60‐doped ZnAl‐LDH was estimated to be 9.217 Å which is wide enough from the general LDH (~7.0 Å). The crystallite size of nanoparticles is 9.217 nm and ~6 nm by Scherrer's equation and Williamson–Hall method from the XRD data, respectively. Rice‐shaped 2D morphology was formed with 100 nm–2 μm width and 500 nm–10 μm in length by SEM. The maximal photodegradation efficiency was found with 20% of C60 doping (PD% = 96.98) after 360 min, where the sorption efficiency with this compound is very high (R% = 85.55).ConclusionsIn the presented work, the effect of C60 on the optical, structural, morphological properties, and photocatalytic activity of LDHs was investigated, and the impact of C60/LDH mass ratio and aging time on the properties was also studied. For the identification of the photocatalytic activity of obtained C60/LDH nanocomposites, MB was used as a model pollutant and the efficiency of the Zn/Al LDH nanocomposite, with various quantities of fullerene, is also evaluated.
