Abstract

Tubular, needle-like crystals of C₆₀ with diameters ranging from micro to nano sizes have been synthesized by the liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation (LLIP) method. The C₆₀ nano- and microtubes can absorb various solutions of alcohol and water, showing that they can be promising containers for materials storage and recovery. Further, C₆₀ microtubes vertically aligned on porous alumina membranes have been successfully prepared for the first time by a modified LLIP method. The vertically aligned C₆₀ microtubes will find a variety of application for bio and environmental uses.
