A novel method has been developed for the sensitive and accurate determination of compositions of fullerene samples. The method is based on the synergistic use of spectrophotometric measurements and partial least square method. The method is not only simple, inexpensive and fast but also is non-destructive. Compositions of various fullerene samples including fullerite which is the precursor to C(60) and C(70), can be directly and non-destructively determined by this method without any time-consuming separation step as in the HPLC method or destruction as in the MS method.

The nanoscale chiral arrangement in a bicomponent organic material system comprising donor and acceptor small molecules is shown to depend on the thickness of a film that is responsive to chiral light in an optoelectronic device. In this bulk heterojunction, a previously unreported chiral bis(diketopyrrolopyrrole) derivative was combined with an achiral non-fullerene acceptor. The optical activity of the chiral compound is dramatically different in the pure material and the composite, showing how the electron acceptor influences the donor's arrangement compared with the pure molecule.

This work reports on the assessment of a non-hydrolytic electrochemical sensor for glucose sensing that is developed using functionalized carbon nanotubes (fCNTs)/Co(OH). The morphology of the nanocomposite was investigated by scanning electron microscopy, which revealed that the CNTs interacted with Co(OH). This content formed a nanocomposite that improved the electrochemical characterizations of the electrode, including the electrochemical active surface area and capacitance, thus improving sensitivity to glucose.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-reinforced copper-based composites (CNT/Cu) have been extensively investigated due to their exceptional theoretical electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties. However, the actual performance of these composites has consistently fallen short of theoretical expectations. This discrepancy primarily arises from the inability to achieve direct chemical bonding between copper and carbon nanotubes or to alloy them effectively.

A golden fullerene with a composition of [Au(PhP)(5-CF-Hpa)] (CFCOO) (5-CF-Hpa=5-trifluoropyridyl-2-amine) (Au) has been synthesized with pyridylamino and phosphine ligands as the protecting agents. Single crystal X-ray structural analysis reveals that the cluster has a D Au core, which can be depicted as a centered core-shell structure Au@Au@Au. The 41 Au atoms of the Au@Au core-shell can be derived from placing a gold atom in the center of each polygon of C (D).

Transdermal insulin delivery in a painless, convenient, and on-demand way remains a long-standing challenge. A variety of smart microneedles (MNs) fabricated by glucose-responsive phenylboronic acid hydrogels have been previously developed to provide painless and autonomous insulin release in response to a glucose level change. However, like the majority of MNs, their transdermal delivery efficiency was still relatively low compared to that with subcutaneous injection.
