Size-Tunable Hexagonal Fullerene (C_(60)) Nanosheets at the Liquid-Liquid Interface

摘要

Fullerene (C_(60)) has gathered much attention in materials chemistry owing to their future potential application in various fields. In general, solid C_(60) solvates have been prepared with various solvents by slow evaporation of solvents under slightly reduced pressure. The morphology for the C_(60) solvates has been tuned with disparate crystal structure in the solid state by changing the solvents. Basically, the nature of the solvent plays an imperative role on the crystal formation and its morphology and shape.
