Outline of Research at the Start

QCM sensing performance of the hierarchical nanoporous fullerene crystal-based sensors contribute greatly to the sensing response due to its unique pi-conjugated structure, high hydrophobicity and strong van der Waals and pi-pi interactions, which is not possible with conventional materials.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have successfully fabricated novel corn-husk-shaped fullerene C60 crystals (CHFCs), molecularly thin nitrogen-doped 2D fullerphene and fullerene rosettes through the liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation method. Due to the hierarchically porous structures and high surface area and nitrogen doping these materials showed excellent quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensing results. The CHFCs sensitive to acetic acid vapors. While fullerphene is sensitive to formic acid over acetic acid in the vapor. Fullerene rosettes are selective to acids against basic guests (formic acid/pyridine > 30) or aromatic guests (formic acid/toluene > 110), the fullerene rosette based QCM sensor also showed superior performances. Our results show ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) nanoporous materials offer enhanced sensitivity and high spatial resolution in sensing applications making them important for the selective discrimination of guest molecules.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

フラーレンベースのナノ多孔質材料、特に極薄の 2D ナノ多孔質材料は、センシング用途において感度の向上と高い空間分解能を提供するため、ゲスト分子の選択的識別にとって重要となり、安全で持続可能な社会の資産となります。
