Structure and Morphology Characteristics of Fullerene C60 Nanotubes Fabricated with N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone as a Good Solvent

Structure and Morphology Characteristics of Fullerene C60 Nanotubes Fabricated with N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone as a Good Solvent

Fullerene C60 nanotubes (FNTs) were prepared via liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation using N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as solvent and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) as precipitation agent at 8°C. C60-saturated NMP solutions were exposed to visible light to promote the growth of FNTs. Scanning electron...
