- C60 nanotubes have been synthesized by a solution–solution method. After degassing in a dynamic vacuum, the C60 nanotubes were doped with alkali metals by means of vapor evaporation method. Different temperatures have been studied to evaporate the alkali metals for the doping experiments. Raman spectrum was further employed to analyze the doping concentration of the obtained samples. It was found that all three alkali metals (Li, Na and K) used can be efficiently doped into the C60 nanotubes, forming AxC60 nanotubes. The doping concentration of Li, Na changed from low to high level, depending on the experiment temperatures, while K doping always gave saturated doping. The melt points, the ionic sizes and vapor pressures of alkali metals were thought to affect the final doping results.

- C60 microtubes were fabricated by a modified solution evaporation method, evaporating a solution of C60 in toluene in an atmosphere of m-xylene at room temperature. The C60 microtubes have outer diameters ranging from 2 to 8 μm. IR spectra, TG analysis and X-ray diffraction showed a solvated structure for the as-grown C60 microtubes. Through a gentle heat-treatment in vacuum, pure C60 microtubes with single crystalline fcc structure were obtained after the elimination of solvents. It is suggested that the C60 microtubes form through self-assembly from several individual C60 nanorods.

- The electrical resistance R of K4C60 and Li4C60 has been measured between 100 and 300 K under pressures up to 1 and 2 GPa, respectively. For both materials, the temperature coefficient of R is negative at all pressures and temperatures in this range. The transport properties of Li4C60 at low pressure are compatible with a recent observation of high ionic conductivity, but surprisingly, this conductivity term increases strongly with increasing pressure, contradicting an intuitive model. For K4C60 we see no sign of a recently suggested structural phase transformation at low temperature, nor can we find any convincing evidence for a lattice disproportionation as recently observed for Rb4C60.
