In the IFF, a large variety of fullerenes, nanotubes and peapods are synthesized and investigated. Embedded in the IFW research area of Molecular Nanostructures and Molecular Solids, this includes the following fields:
Fullerenes
- Production of fullerenes
- Endohedral fullerenes
- Spectroscopy and electrochemistry of fullerenes
- Electronic and optical properties
- Chemcial properties and applications
Carbon Nanotubes
- Production of MW-, DW-, and SW-Nanotubes by CVD
- Production of Nanotubes by laser ablation
- Filled and Coated Carbon Nanotubes
- Spectroelectrochemisty of Nanotubes
- Electronic and optical properties
- Transport Properties
- Biomedical applications of Carbon Nanotubes
