Researchers created a covalently bridged fullerene framework, which shows that carbon can store lithium in a completely different and much more stable way, avoiding structural collapse and preventing ...

Fullerene chemistry has evolved into a dynamic field where the unique properties of carbon allotropes, notably C60 and its derivatives, are harnessed through high-pressure polymerisation techniques.

(Nanowerk News) Carnegie’s Yingwei Fei and Lin Wang were part of an international research team that synthesized a new ultrahard form of carbon glass with a wealth of potential practical applications ...

Fullerene derivatives represent a unique class of carbon-based nanomaterials with exceptional physicochemical properties that have been harnessed for a range of biomedical applications. Their ...

A fullerene is a carbon compound whose molecule is made up of carbon atoms linked together by single and double bonds to create a closed or partly closed mesh with rings of 5 to 7 atoms. Graphene ...

The most well-known forms of carbon include graphite and diamond, but there are other more exotic nanoscale allotropes of carbon as well. These include graphene and fullerenes, which are sp2 ...

Professor Zaifa Shi's team at Xiamen University developed an ultra-high temperature flash vacuum pyrolysis (UT-FVP) device to form giant fullerenes from single-carbon molecules within a short time (15 ...
