Layered materials by electron transfer induced deposition of fullerene C_(60)

摘要

It was shown by cyclic voltametry and preparative electrolysis that electron transfer induced deposition of solvated fullerene C_(60) in aprotic media, such as mixtures of toluene with acetonitrile, dimethylsulfoxide and dimethylformamide leads to the formation of the conducting films on such electrode supports as Pt, Ni, ITO glass, carbon fibres etc. From an Electron Beam Diffraction study, existence of ordered cubic type structures was proposed for the coatings of formal stoichionetry KC_(60).
