Background:

  • Fullerenes offer simple building blocks for self-assembly research.
  • Understanding fullerene self-assembly is crucial for developing new materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the in situ reactive self-assembly of C60 fullerenes with melamine/ethylenediamine.

  • Fabrication of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensors.

Main Results:

  • Formation of micron-sized, 2D amorphous fullerene rosettes.
  • Evidence of strong interactions or covalent links between fullerenes and additives.
  • Fullerene rosettes exhibit low crystallinity, forming bilayer/monolayer assemblies.
  • Demonstrated selective and high-response sensing of formic acid using QCM sensors.

Conclusions:

  • Novel fullerene rosettes were synthesized via a reactive self-assembly process.
  • The developed fullerene rosette-based QCM sensors show superior selectivity and sensitivity for formic acid detection.
