I. Key Performance Highlights
1. Electrical / Electronic
– 3-D conjugated π-system enables both n- and p-type conduction; forms high-quality heterojunctions with metals and semiconductors.
– Room-temperature electron mobility ≈ 10⁻¹ cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹; rises further in 2-D ordered films—ideal for short-channel FETs and opto-switches.
2. Optical Activity
– UV-Vis absorption > 95 %; strong third-order non-linearity for optical limiters, laser protection and all-optical switches.
3. Mechanical
– Harder than diamond, 100 × tougher than steel, yet far lighter—perfect for light-weight, high-strength composites.
4. Anti-oxidation
– 172 × more efficient than vitamin C at scavenging free radicals; widely used in anti-ageing skin care.
II. Application Landscape
1. Electronics & Optoelectronics
– Organic photovoltaics: acceptor material delivering 6.5 % PCE.
– Photo-FETs: fractal C60 films on h-BN give high mobility and millisecond response for flexible imaging.
– Laser shielding: C60 and its metal complexes provide broadband (532–810 nm) optical limiting for aerospace windows and safety goggles.
2. Energy Storage & Catalysis
– High-Tc superconductors: alkali-intercalated C60, Tc up to 46 K.
– H₂ / Li storage: hollow cage hosts ions or H₂ molecules for high-energy batteries and hydrogen carriers.
– HER catalysis: C60–Ru/Mn heterojunctions yield low-over-potential, durable alkaline hydrogen evolution.
3. Lubrication & Wear Resistance
– 0.1–1 wt % C60 extends lubricant life 30 % and cuts friction ≥ 20 %—ideal for precision machinery and space systems.
4. Functional Polymers
– C60/C70-doped poly-N-vinylcarbazole creates high-sensitivity photoconductors for photocopying, laser printing and light detection.
5. Biomedicine
– Anti-ageing cosmetics: radical scavenging for whitening, post-operative repair and wrinkle reduction.
– Cancer theranostics: doxorubicin- or photosensitizer-loaded C60 derivatives combine PDT/chemotherapy to boost tumour suppression while lowering systemic toxicity.
