Fullerene (C 60), first discovered in 1985 by researchers at the University of Rice, [1] has attracted considerable scientific and technological attention owing to its unique physical, chemical, and biological properties with possible applications in areas as diverse as optoelectronics, [2] solar cells, [3] optical limiters, [4,5] sensors, [4] luminescent devices, [6] optical filters, [6] and virucidal compounds. [7-9] A C 60 molecule, with a nuclear framework diameter of 7.1 A, shows a truncated icosahedron structure. It consists of 60 carbon atoms located at the nodes of 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons which are arranged in a cage-like lattice, and the structure is defined by alternating single and double bonds. [10,11] Since C 60 molecules are small, isotropic, and spherical, they can be regarded as an ideal zero-dimensional (0D) building unit allowing for a subsequent construction of higher-dimensional structures, that is, 1D, 2D, and 3D nanomaterials, to realize some important aspects of nano-architectonics. [11] The solubility of fullerenes in common organic solvents, such as toluene, carbon disulfide, and dichlorobenzene, is good, and a large-industrial-scale synthesis of high-purity and size-controlled fullerenes is now possible with various products on the market. Among the various crystalline forms of fullerenes, C 60 nanowires, as 1D nanostructure of C 60 , are of particular interest owing to their outstanding properties and potential applications resulting from their high surface area, low-dimensionality, and potential quantum confinement effect, [4,10,12] as well as the possibility of serving as 1D building units in magnetic and photonic applications. [13,14] There have been a number of reports on the growth, structural characterization, and application-related investigations of C 60 nanowires. In this review, we highlight the recent development and provide future outlooks in the research area. The potential applications of the material could be many, which include optical limiters, [4,5] photoconductors for solar energy devices, [2] fuel cells, [6] field-emission transistors, [15,16] nanoprobes, [17] high-frequency filters, [17] and targeted drug-delivery vehicles, [18-20] and these applications are also discussed in this paper. 2. Preparation of C 60 Nanowires There are currently two ways used for the preparation of C 60 nanowires: the direct solution growth method and the liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation (LLIP) method. The direct solution growth may be undertaken by slowly evaporating organic solvent in a saturated C 60 solution to allow C 60 crystal growth. Incorporation of solvent molecules into the crystal lattices leads to different crystalline forms including needlelike and nanowire-like C 60 crystals. The volume of the unit cell has been demonstrated to increase with the increase in the molecular size of the solvent. [10]

“…As an example, fullerenes are integrated in electrodes of a direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) [296]. In DMFCs C 60 is coupled to Pt to improve the catalytic oxidation of methanol [297] thanks to its strong electron accepting ability [298]. Fullerenes also find applications in organic photovoltaics where an electron-deficient compound (acceptor) and an electron-rich conjugated polymer (donor) are coupled together to generate charge separation under light irradiation.…”

The carbon-based materials (CbMs) refer to a class of substances in which the carbon atoms can assume different hybridization states (sp 1 , sp 2 , sp 3 ) leading to different allotropic structures -. In these substances, the carbon atoms can form robust covalent bonds with other carbon atoms or with a vast class of metallic and non-metallic elements, giving rise to an enormous number of compounds from small molecules to long chains to solids. This is one of the reasons why the carbon chemistry is at the basis of the organic chemistry and the biochemistry from which life on earth was born. In this context, the surface chemistry assumes a substantial role dictating the physical and chemical properties of the carbon-based materials. Different functionalities are obtained by bonding carbon atoms with heteroatoms (mainly oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur) determining a certain reactivity of the compound which otherwise is rather weak. This holds for classic materials such as the diamond, the graphite, the carbon black and the porous carbon but functionalization is widely applied also to the carbon nanostructures which came at play mainly in the last two decades. As a matter of fact, nowadays, in addition to fabrication of nano and porous structures, the functionalization of CbMs is at the basis of a number of applications as catalysis, energy conversion, sensing, biomedicine, adsorption etc. This work is dedicated to the modification of the surface chemistry reviewing the different approaches also considering the different macro and nano allotropic forms of carbon.C 2019, 5, 84 3 of 45 narrow graphite-like interconnected layers. This leads to a closed pore rigid structure that is chemically inert, hard but brittle [48][49][50].Due to the highly resistant, conductive, and inert network, glassy carbons are utilized in a series of rather different applications. They are utilized as electrodes in solid state batteries and in industrial harsh chemical processes where also high temperatures are involved such as crystallization of CaF2, CdS and ZnS. Glassy carbon can be utilized to manufacture high temperature furnace elements. Due to the chemical inertness, glassy carbons are utilized also in fabrication of protheses. Porous carbon and carbon black are much softer. Generally, in industrial applications important is the extension of the surface which is exposed to the external environment. The porous carbon is characterized by a high specific surface area enhancing the interaction with the external medium. Although it possesses a lower conductivity with respect to glassy carbon, the high porosity and the presence of active sites makes it a good material to fabricate electrodes for applications in electrochemistry [51][52][53] and bioelectrodes for sensing and stimulation [54,55].The same holds for the carbon black mainly utilized as additive in rubbers and polymers to improve their mechanical properties, or as a pigment [56] although new potentialities have been recently envisaged [57].Common to all the forms of carbon which are bri...
