Tailoring structural features and functions of fullerene rod crystals by a ferrocene-modified fullerene derivative

Abstract

The influence of ferrocene-modified fullerene derivative (FcC60) on the crystalline growth of fullerene microrods is studied based on the liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation (LLIP) process. With involving a small amount of...

Coordinated regulation of phosphorus/nitrogen doping in fullerene-derived hollow carbon spheres and their synergistic effect for the oxygen reduction reaction

“…The broad peaks centered at 21°and 44°should arise from the polymorph carbon structure. 30 These results indicate the successful transformation of fullerene-derived carbons after the heat treatment at 900 °C. Compared to other NP@CHSs, NP 4 @CHS shows broader diffraction around 20°.…”

Tailoring co-doping of cobalt and nitrogen in a fullerene-based carbon composite and its effect on the supercapacitive performance

“…In contrast to the low specific capacitance of C 60 _900 without doping (32.5 F g −1 at 10 mV s −1 and 46.9 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 ) (Fig. S14, ESI†), 21 C 60 CoTMPP_900s with Co and N doping all show enhanced capacitive property of fullerene-based carbons. C 60 CoTMPP-0.1_900 possesses the highest specific capacitance of 296 F g −1 or 0.1 F cm −2 .…”

“…20 We also successfully prepared fullerene carbon materials with enhanced supercapacitive properties by regulating the self-assembled structures of ferrocene-modified fullerenes in our previous work. 21 However, these studies still cannot control the doping ratio of metals. The relationship between the metal doping content and application performance of fullerene-derived carbons is thus unclear.…”

Enhancing the ORR activity of fullerene-derived carbons by implanting Fe in assembled diamine–C60 spheres

“…15,16 Furthermore, unlike other carbon nanomaterials, fullerenes can construct supramolecular assemblies with tunable architectures and functions. [17][18][19][20][21] Through rational arrangements of heteroatoms in the carbon framework, outstanding ORR performance of fullerene-derived carbons might also be attained. 22,23 Therefore, fullerenes provide a novel platform to manipulate the configuration of heteroatoms in carbon structures and also understand the synergistic effect of catalysis activity.…”
