Nanostructuring of C60 fullerene thin films

Application of multi-walled carbon nanotubes functionalized with hemin for oxygen detection in neutral solution

“…However, compared to SWNTs, there are only a few studies on the modification of MWNTs [17,[29][30][31][32]. The conducting nature of the MWNTs, together with their outstanding electronic and mechanical properties, makes them attractive for potential applications.…”

Synthesis and characterization of M-fullerene/TiO2 photocatalysts designed for degradation azo dye

“…In this case, a fullerenecoupled TiO 2 system can improve the reaction state for photogenerated hole and electron pairs. Because fullerene is a trap-rich conductor, the fullerene molecules acted as an electron relay [34][35][36]. The role of the injected electrons in this system is not only to increase the density of charge carriers, but also to fill trap states and hence increase the average mobility.…”

Functionalization of CNTs: New Routes Towards the Development of Novel Electrochemical Sensors

“…The immobilization of molecules, biomolecules or even nanoparticles on SWNTs was exploited in the past, motivated by the prospects of using nanotubes as new types of sensor/biosensor materials [69][70][71][72]. However, compared to SWNTs, there are only a few studies on the modification of MWNTs [9,[73][74][75][76]. The conducting nature of the MWNTs, together with their outstanding electronic and mechanical properties, makes them attractive for potential applications.…”
