Abstract:

Hexagonal fullerene (C₆₀) nanosheets have been prepared using a liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation method. The size of the hexagonal nanosheets can be tuned appropriately by selecting proper solvent for the interfacial precipitation. The prepared C₆₀ nanosheets are porous, very thin, and foldable in nature.
