Conversion of CO2 into carbonaceous fuels with the aid of solar energy has been an important research subject for decades. Owing to their excellent electron‐accepting capacities, fullerene derivatives have been extensively used as n‐type semiconductors. This work reports that the fulleropyrrolidine...
