FNWs are n-type semiconductors with various application examples such as field-effect transistors, solar cells, chemical sensors, photocatalysts and so forth. Alkali metal-doped C60 (fullerene) nanowhiskers (C60NWs) become superconductors. The K-doped C60NWs have the highest superconducting volume fraction as ever have been realized in the alkali metal-doped C60 crystals and a very high critical current density Jc up to a magnetic field of 50 kOe. On the other hand, the growth control of fullerene nanowhiskers is a very important theme for their practical application. This paper reviews the research development of FNWs, focusing on their electrical and superconducting properties as well as their growth mechanism. popup.nrat_date 2025-05-12 Close
