Thermal, sonochemical, and mechanical behaviors of single crystal [60]fullerene nanotubes

Abstract: Although related to conventional carbon nanotubes in both shape and construction, fullerene nanowhiskers and fullerene nanotubes have received far less attention. A modified liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation technique is described to produce relatively uniform batches of [60]fullerene nanotubes in high yield. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) reveal that the tubes possess approximately 100-nm inside diameters and 300-nm outside diameters. The [60]fullerene nanotubes… Show more

“…In addition to the C 60 NWs, various kinds of fullerene nanowhiskers (FNWs) that are composed of C 70 , C 60 [C(COOC 2 H 5 ) 2 ], La@C 82 (Ad) (Ad¼ adamantylidene) and so forth have been synthesized using the liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation method (LLIP method) [3][4][5]. Single crystal tubular nanofibers composed of C 70 , ''C 70 nanotubes'' [6], were also synthesized by the LLIP method as well as C 60 nanotubes [7,8].…”

“…[1][2][3][4]. C 60 fullerene powder (99.5% pure, MTR Ltd.) was dissolved in pyridine (99.5% assay) by sonication to form a fullerene-saturated solution with a concentration of 3 mg/ml.…”

“…The splitting of the A g (2) peak is possibly the effect of photochemical reaction of FNTs with laser irradiation wherein polymerization of C 60 was observed after increasing the irradiation time even with low power density. 13 The time evolution Raman spectra near the A g (2) mode clearly shows the broadening of the A g (2) peak and the appearance of several peaks crowning at ∼1458 cm −1 which corresponds to the photo-polymerized phase of solid C 60 . 14 This means that the weak intermolecular bonding of the pristine FNTs can be easily modified to form strong covalent bonds simply by exposure to laser irradiation after crystallization.…”

“…They are usually grown at or below room temperature. After several days, fullerene nanofibres (FNFs) are fully grown and during this time, the poor solvent slowly diffuses into the fullerene-rich phase, increasing its hydrophilicity [17]. Compared to other synthesis methods, the LLIP method is simple and financially not costly, but its poor reproducibility and modest yields are problematic.…”
