Synthesis of C60 nanotubes by liquid–liquid interfacial precipitation method: Influence of solvent ratio, growth temperature, and light illumination

High-resolution transmission electron microscopy of heat-treated C60nanotubes

“…The fullerene nanotubes were also fabricated by a similar liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation method [2,8,9], where a pyridine solution saturated with C 60 irradiated by visible light (436 nm) or ultraviolet light (302 nm) was used.…”

Synthesis of alkali-metal-doped C60 nanotubes

“…Particularly, C 60 nanotubes are expected to be applied to nanometer-scale functional and structural devices, which exhibit novel mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties [12]. It was also reported that by alkali metal doping, the room temperature conductivity of C 60 single crystals can be obviously improved [13].…”

“…Since the discovery of the carbon nanotube, 1D nanometer-scale materials have become the focus of intense research owing to their unique structures and physical properties [9,10]. Because fullerenes are the most important novel materials in the carbon family, by using C 60 as building block, 1D C 60 materials, such as C 60 nanorod, nanotube and nanowire, have been synthesized and especially attracted much attention in recent years [11,12].…”

Precise Raman measurements of C₆₀ fullerene nanowhiskers synthesized using the liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation method

“…In our previous articles [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30], the Raman measurements were performed in air to characterize various C60FNWs synthesized by the liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation (LLIP) method [31]. However, the measured Ag(2) peak of C60FNWs varied from 1458 cm -1 to 1468 cm -1 .…”
