“…Fullerenes and its composites and derivatives have been recently explored for Li-ion and Na-ion based batteries. The role of fullerene C 60 and hydrogenated fullerene C 60 H x as cathodes in batteries has been studied by Scaravonati et al [220] in order to overcome the critical challenge of solubility of fullerene in the electrolyte, wherein Na-(polyethylene oxide) was used as a solid electrolyte. Interestingly fullerene C 60 showed 1.09% higher specific capacity during the first discharge than hydrogenated fullerene.…”

Functionalized fullerene nanostructures are a distinct class of materials that exhibit the combined properties of both fullerene and nanostructures including excellent optoelectronic features, modified band edges, high electron affinity, fast charge transfer capabilities, and tunable structural and textural properties. These fascinating properties allow for their utilization in many applications such as polymer solar cells, photovoltaics, photocatalysis, photodynamic therapy, electrocatalysis, environmental remediation, and drug and gene delivery. Numerous synthesis methods and anchoring groups are employed for functionalized fullerenes with nanostructures by using convergent bottom-up and top-down strategies. The supramolecular self-assembly and functionalization of fullerenes through robust chemistry approaches such as surface oxidation, grafting, polymer coating, doping of metals/nonmetal heteroatoms, noncovalent modification with 2D materials and nanoparticle attachment result in achieving fine control over its surface and bulk properties, including increased solubility, wettability, electron transport, acid-base properties, adsorption, electronic conductivity, and light absorption. This review analyzes the salient developments in the fabrication of nanostructured fullerenes and their functionalized derivatives for many applications including adsorption, catalysis, sensors, energy storage, solar cells, drug delivery, magnetic and superconducting devices. The contents of this review will allow the readers to cherish exciting possibilities and opportunities in field of functionalized nanofullerenes.

“…Developing high-performing sodium storage anode material is a crucial issue for SIB studies [80]. Pontiroli et al [81] explored the potential application of pure C 60 and a hydrogenated derivative (C 60 H x ) for SIB anodes. Similar to the previous reports of fullerene-based LIB anodes, their studies showed that pure C 60 could not be used directly as an electrode material for SIBs, because it displayed a strong irreversible Na-inserted behavior, forming Na x C 60 composites (Fig.…”

“…The full hydrogenation of the celebrated Buckminsterfullene molecule C

, for example, would lead to record-breaking hydrogen-storage capacities around 8 wt.% [ 212 ]. Several strategies have been attempted to ensure the reversibility of this process, either by intercalation [ 213 , 214 , 215 , 216 , 217 , 218 , 219 , 220 , 221 , 222 , 223 , 224 , 225 , 226 , 227 , 228 , 229 , 230 , 231 , 232 ], or through the use of intermediate hydrogen carriers, like ammonia [ 233 , 234 , 235 ]. The already excellent sorption properties of alkali-doped fullerides can be further improved via decoration with transition-metal nanoparticles [ 227 , 236 ].…”

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This work provides an up-to-date overview of recent developments in neutron spectroscopic techniques and associated computational tools to interrogate the structural properties and dynamical behavior of complex and disordered materials, with a focus on those of a soft and polymeric nature. These have and continue to pave the way for new scientific opportunities simply thought unthinkable not so long ago, and have particularly benefited from advances in high-resolution, broadband techniques spanning energy transfers from the meV to the eV. Topical areas include the identification and robust assignment of low-energy modes underpinning functionality in soft solids and supramolecular frameworks, or the quantification in the laboratory of hitherto unexplored nuclear quantum effects dictating thermodynamic properties. In addition to novel classes of materials, we also discuss recent discoveries around water and its phase diagram, which continue to surprise us. All throughout, emphasis is placed on linking these ongoing and exciting experimental and computational developments to specific scientific questions in the context of the discovery of new materials for sustainable technologies.
