Well-designed, monodispersed porous ZnO hollow microspheres with controlled hole-opening were successfully synthesized by a facile two-step solution route at low temperature. The hollow microspheres having average diameter of 3-4 μm showed time-dependent hole-opening, i.e. 4-100% for 15-75 min. The hole-opening percen…

As synthesized, bulk single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) samples are typically highly agglomerated and heterogeneous. However, their most promising applications require the isolation of individualized, purified nanotubes, often with specific optoelectronic characteristics. A wide range of dispersion and separation te…

To date, ( n, m ) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) cannot be selectively synthesized. Therefore, postprocessing of SWNTs including solubilization and sorting is necessary for further applications. Toward this goal, we have synthesized a polymer library consisting of fluorene- and carbazole-based homo- and copoly…

Herein, we present a lithium-doped fullerane (Li(x)-C(60)-H(y)) that is capable of reversibly storing hydrogen through chemisorption at elevated temperatures and pressures. This system is unique in that hydrogen is closely associated with lithium and carbon upon rehydrogenation of the material and that the weight perc…
