Structural and optoelectronic properties of C60 rods obtained via a rapid synthesis route

The effect of solvent ratio and water on the growth of C60 nanowhiskers

“…Not only long fibrous C 60 NWs with lengths greater than several millimeters [13] but also short C 60 NWs with lengths from several micrometers to several tens of micrometers can be prepared by the LLIP method [10,[14][15][16].…”

Applications of carbon materials in photovoltaic solar cells

“…Theoretical predictions and experimental findings suggest that C 60 crystals are n-type semiconductors with direct band gaps [26]. Their close-packed face-centered-cubic (fcc) structure results in high electron mobility [27]. Importantly, the photoactive layer thickness can be reduced by using single-crystal C 60 to increase the efficiency in organic solar cells [28].…”

Preparation and characterization of Ni incorporated fullerene nanowhiskers

“…Basically, the walls of the nanowhiskers are crystalline, made up of fullerene molecules and the fullerene molecules were densely packed along the growth axis. Number of methods has been made to prepare the fullerene nanowhiskers or nanotubes [7][8][9][10]. In our earlier study, we reported liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation method for the preparation of C 60 nanowhiskers/nanotubes [5].…”
