摘要: Here we report the thermal conversion of one-dimensional (1D) fullerene (C-60) single-crystal nanorods and nanotubes to nanoporous carbon materials with retention initial 1D morphology. The C-60 crystals are heated directly at very high temperature (up 2000 degrees C) in vacuum, yielding a new family carbons having pi-electron conjugation within sp(2)-carbon robust frameworks. These show excellent electrochemical capacitance superior sensing properties for aromatic compounds compared commercial activated carbons.
