C60 nanorods preparation.
(a) Photograph of C60 dissolved in m-xylene (left) and C60 nanorods (right) prepared via the fast liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation (FLLIP) method. The optical absorption of both C60 in m-xylene and C60 nanorods is shown in figure 2d. (b) Scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of 1D C60 nanorods obtained via the FLLIP method. (c) Histogram of C60 nanorod length distribution with a mean length of 18 µm. (d) Histogram of C60 nanorod diameter distribution with a mean diameter of 350 nm.
