Versatile fullerenes as sensor materials

The last century outstanding discovery of fullerenes (or C60), as they are popularly called ‘buckyball’ structured molecules with icosahedral spherical structure, consists of 60 sp2-hybridized carbon atoms. These fullerenes have created immense applications in various fields, such as catalysts, sensors, photocatalysts, energy production, and storage materials. Fullerenes because of their improved conductivity, charge transfer, and photophysical...
