Researchers have gained new insights into the unique chemical properties of spherical molecules composed entirely of carbon atoms, called fullerenes. They did it by making flat fragments of the ...

Solar cells are a critical component to the transition to renewable energy sources, and enhanced power conversion efficiency (PCE), or amount of power captured with a given amount of sunlight, ...

A study conducted by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil and the Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza" in Italy has synthesized fullerenes and hollow spherical graphene ...

An international group of scientists has built an organic solar cell based on an acceptor based on selenium (Se) instead of commonly utilized non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs). The use of Se is intended ...

Fullerenes are carbon molecules which are very big, complex, and highly resistant, Their atoms are organized in three dimensional spherical structures, with a pattern of alternating hexagons and ...

Fullerenes have fascinated chemists for decades—with the discoverers of the all-carbon version C 60 even nabbing the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Chemists have also tried to make these cagey ...

Denka has acquired a 50% stake in the fullerene maker Frontier Carbon from Mitsubishi Corporation. Frontier, founded in Japan in 2001, supplies C60, C70, and higher-order fullerenes and blends.
