Recent Progress on Fullerene–Based Functional Materials for Energy Conversion

Carbon Energy, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
A schematic illustration summarizing the classification, and photo‐/electro‐‐/thermo‐catalysis and energy storage applications of C60 and derivatives. ABSTRACT Efficient energy conversion and environmental protection are still constrained by rapid carrier recombination, unstable interfaces, limited active site, and so on. Owing to the unique electronic

Molecular Engineering of Octathio[8]Circulenes with Superhalogens for Enhanced Optoelectronic Properties

Nano Select, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Sunflower‐like octathio[8]circulene (C16S8) has gained attention for its exceptional thermal and electronic properties. In this study, a superhalogen‐based doping strategy was employed to enhance its nonlinear optical (NLO) response, investigated through density functional theory (DFT) simulations.

The key energy scales of Gd-based metallofullerene determined by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering spectroscopy

Scientific Reports, 2017
Endohedral metallofullerenes, formed by encaging Gd inside fullerenes like C80, can exhibit enhanced proton relaxitivities compared with other Gd-chelates, making them the promising contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Metallofullerenol Sc3N@C80(OH)18: A New Generation Radioprotector Protecting Human Erythrocytes Against Multiple Biochemical Damage Modes Upon Gamma Irradiation, Identifying It as a Scavenger of Short‐ and Long‐Lived Radicals

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 7, 16 February 2026.
Metallofullerenol Sc3N@C80(OH)18 demonstrates strong radioprotective properties as a scavenger of both short‐ and long‐lived radicals. The study reveals protection of human erythrocytes from γ‐radiation–induced biochemical damage via post‐irradiation removal of primary and secondary reactive oxidants, supported by pulse radiolysis kinetics.
