A composite gel composed of the C60 fullerene derivatives and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)(PEDOT) was prepared using a low-temperature organic-solvent process. PEDOT was synthesized inside the C60-PEG gel and formed nanoscale junctions between C60 and PEDOT, which was beneficial for the movement of electrons and holes. The photocurrent was observed by irradiating the C60-PEG/PEDOT gel electrode with UV or simulated sunlight. Therefore, it is expected that the C60-PEG/PEDOT material is applicable for the photoelectric field, such as solar cells.
