Fullerene chemistry stands as a vibrant field within materials science, characterised by the study and modification of spherical carbon allotropes, most notably C60. These molecules serve as a ...

Fullerene chemistry encompasses the investigation of closed-cage carbon structures and their extraordinary electronic, optical, and chemical properties. A particularly exciting facet of this field is ...

This research reveals for the first time that C 60 fullerene--a molecule traditionally considered as inert support--can serve as an active catalytic site for CO 2 electroreduction. By uncovering how ...

(Nanowerk News) Synthetic carbon allotropes are fascinating for their outstanding properties and potential applications. Scientists have devoted decades to synthesizing new types of carbon materials.

"The findings open new possibilities for designing efficient, metal-free catalysts - which are more sustainable," says Hao Li (WPI-AIMR, Tohoku University), "This work aligns perfectly with global ...
