Fullerenes became a new member of carbon allotropes in addition to diamond and graphite after the discovery of C (carbon 60) by Kroto et al. in 1985. The model of C was first proposed by Osawa in 1970. C is a hollow spherical molecule composed of 60 carbon atoms that contains 12 five-membered rings and 20 six-membered rings and has the same structure as a soccer ball. In 2001, C fullerene nanowhiskers (FNWs), which are single-crystal nanowhiskers solely composed of C molecules, were discovered in a colloidal solution of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) with added C. This book focuses on the synthesis of FNWs, fullerene nanotubes, and fullerene nanosheets and describes the structural, mechanical, semiconducting, and thermal properties, as well as bio-related and solar applications of FNWs and related fullerene nanomaterials.
