Carbon-based metal-free nanomaterials are promising alternatives to precious metals as
electrocatalysts of key energy storage and conversion technologies. Of paramount …

Conspectus During the last 30 years, theoretical scientists imagined segmental families of
monolayer carbon tubules with fullerene-based end-caps. These fullertube molecules would …

Carbon sorbent materials have shown great promise for solid‐state hydrogen (H2) storage.
Modification of these materials with nitrogen (N) dopants has been undertaken to develop …

Carbon is one of the most important chemical elements, forming a wide range of important
allotropes, ranging from diamond over graphite to nanostructural materials such as …

We report the seminal experimental isolation and DFT characterization of pristine [5, 5] C130-
D5h (1) fullertubes. This achievement represents the largest soluble carbon molecule …

Molecular beam experiments together with electronic structure calculations provide the first
evidence of a complex network of elementary gas-phase reactions culminating in the bottom …

Fullerenes are widely applied in the field of ORR, OER, and HER due to their well-defined
molecular structures, excellent electron affinity potential that can be used to regulate the …

Endohedral fullerenes, or endofullerenes, are chemical systems of fullerene cages
encapsulating single atoms or small molecules. These species provide an interesting …

Fullertubes, that is, fullerenes consisting of a carbon nanotube moiety capped by
hemifullerene ends, are emerging carbon nanomaterials whose properties show both …

Controlling and understanding charge state and metal coordination in carbon nanomaterials
is crucial to harnessing their unique properties. Here we describe the synthesis of the well …
