Few‐Layer Fullerene Network for Photocatalytic Pure Water Splitting into H 2 and H 2 O 2
Abstract A few‐layer fullerene network possesses several advantageous characteristics, including a large surface area, abundant active sites, high charge mobility, and an appropriate band gap and band edge for solar water splitting. Herein, we report for the first time that the few‐layer fullerene n...

Summary: | Abstract
A few‐layer fullerene network possesses several advantageous characteristics, including a large surface area, abundant active sites, high charge mobility, and an appropriate band gap and band edge for solar water splitting. Herein, we report for the first time that the few‐layer fullerene network shows interesting photocatalytic performance in pure water splitting into H
