AI Article Synopsis
- The last 25 years have focused on studying low-dimensional carbon materials, specifically their chemistry and physics, including electron transfer processes.
- The exploration began with fullerenes, then progressed to carbon nanotubes, and most recently graphene.
- This Review article highlights the historical development of fullerenes and their use as electroactive components in applications like solar energy conversion and catalytic processes.
Article Abstract
The past 25 years have served as a test bed for exploring the chemistry and physics, in general, and the electron transfer chemistry, in particular, of low-dimensional carbon. Nevertheless, the new realm started with the advent of fullerenes, followed in chronological order by carbon nanotubes, and, more recently, by graphene. The major thrust of this Review article is to historically recap the versatility of fullerenes regarding the design, the synthesis, and the tests as an electroactive building block in photosynthetic reaction mimics, photovoltaics, and catalysis.
