- In this paper, we report a comparative study of pressure-induced polymerization in C60 nanorods and bulk single crystals, treated simultaneously under various pressures and temperatures in the same experiment. For both materials, orthorhombic, tetragonal and rhombohedral phases have been produced under high pressure and high temperature. The structures have been identified and compared between the two sample types by Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy. There are differences between the Raman and photoluminescence spectra from the two types of materials for all polymeric phases, but especially for the tetragonal phase. From the comparison between nanorods and bulk samples, we tentatively assign photoluminescence peaks for various polymeric phases.

- C60nanorods in two polymeric phases have been synthesized under differenthigh pressure and high temperature conditions. Orthorhombic and tetragonal phaseshave been identified from Raman spectra. The rod shape canbe kept under quasihydrostatic pressure. The photoluminescence intensity of thepolymeric C60 nanorods has been greatly enhanced compared with thatof pristine C60 nanorods. The main fluorescence band shifted from730 nm in the unpolymeric phase to 748 nm and near infrared780 nm in the orthorhombic and tetragonal phases, respectively. The enhancedphotoluminescence with tunable frequency for different polymeric C60 nanorods suggestspotential applications in luminescent nanomaterials.

- In this paper, CeO2 nanocubes with the (200)-terminated surface/graphene sheet composites have been prepared successfully by a simple hydrothermal method. It is found that the CeO2 nanocubes with high crystallinity and specific exposed surface are well dispersed on well-exfoliated graphene surface. The (200)-terminated surface/graphene sheet composites modified electrode showed much higher sensitivity and excellent selectivity in its catalytic performance compared to a CeO2 nanoparticle-modified electrode. The photoluminescence intensity of the CeO2 anchored on graphene is about 30 times higher than that of pristine CeO2 crystals in air. The higher oxygen vacancy concentration in CeO2 is supposed to be an important cause for the higher photoluminescence and better electrochemical catalytic performance observed in the (200)-terminated surface/graphene sheet composites. Such ingenious design of supported well-dispersed catalysts in nanostructured ceria catalysts, synthesized in one step with an exposed high-activity surface, is important for technical applications and theoretical investigations.

- Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) on silver films with different nano-particle sizes from 20 to 100 nm deposited on quartz and glass substrates were studied systematically. The characteristic Raman spectral features of SWCNT G-band and D-band were analyzed. The two bands show a similar tendency with the change of nano-particle size of silver on quartz and glass substrates. The position and the intensity of the G-band are less sensitive to the films' silver particle sizes in the studied range, indicating that hexagonal carbon rings are stable and have a weak interaction with silver films. The shape of the D-band depends on the silver size. The smaller the silver particle size, the more the contribution of high frequency vibrations to the D-band, indicating that disorder carbon has a strong interaction with the active silver films.

- C60 nanorods, about 200 nm in diameter and several micrometers in length and with a rectangular cross section, have been synthesized by a simple solution-growth method. Raman spectroscopy and TEM indicate that the C60 nanorods have a fcc crystalline structure similar to that of pristine C60. Nanorods were polymerized at high temperature and high pressure below 2 GPa. Two different polymeric structures, orthorhombic and tetragonal as determined by Raman spectroscopy, have been obtained under different high temperature and high pressure conditions. The high-pressure induced polymeric samples keep the original nanometer scale rod shape.

- C70 nanotubes, nanorods and nanoparticles were produced by introducing a series of alcohols as precipitant into a C70/m-xylene solution. The effects of alcohols with different carbon chain lengths on the shape control of C70 nanocrystals were investigated. Alcohols with more than two carbon atoms in the longest chain linked to the hydroxyl groups induced the formation of C70 nanotube/rods. In contrast, alcohols containing two or fewer carbon atoms resulted in C70 nanoparticles. Structural analysis indicated that alcohol molecules exist in the C70 nanocrystals, forming solvated structures. The freshly formed C70 nanotubes and nanoparticles have orthorhombic and hexagonal solvated structures, respectively. Room temperature photoluminescence was further carried out on the solvated C70 nanocrystals to investigate their optical properties. We found that the luminescence intensities of C70 nanocrystals were significantly enhanced by the introduction of alcohols.

- C60 nanotubes with outer diameters ranging from 400–800 nm were polymerized at 1.5 GPa, 573 K and 2.0 GPa, 700 K, respectively. Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy were employed to characterize the polymeric phases of the treated samples. Both Raman and photoluminescence spectra showed that the C60 nanotubes transformed into the dimer and orthorhombic phases under the two different conditions, respectively. The photoluminescence peaks were tuned from visible to near infrared range. Comparative studies indicated that C60 nanotubes were more difficult to polymerize than bulk C60 material under the same conditions due to the nanoscale size effect in the C60 nanotubes.

- Single crystalline C60 nanotubes having face-centered-cubic structure with diameters in the nanometer range were synthesized by a solution method. In situ Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy under high pressure were employed to study the structural stabilities and transitions of the pristine C60 nanotubes. A phase transition, probably because of the orientational ordering of C60 molecules, from face-centered-cubic structure to simple cubic structure occurred at the pressure between 1.46 and 2.26 GPa. At above 20.41 GPa, the Raman spectrum became very diffuse and lost its fine structure in all wavenumber regions, and only two broad and asymmetry peaks initially centered at 1469 and 1570cm-1 were observed, indicating an occurrence of amorphization. This amorphous phase remained to be reversible until 31.1 GPa, and it became irreversible to the ambient pressure after the pressure cycle of 34.3 GPa was applied.

- Single crystalline C70 nanotubes having a face-centered-cubic (fcc) structure with diameters on a nanometer scale were synthesized by a facile solution method. In situ high pressure Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction have been employed to study the structural stability and phase transitions of the pristine sample. We show that the molecular orientation-related phase transition from the fcc structure to a rhombohedral structure occurs at about 1.5 GPa, which is 1 GPa higher than in bulk C70. Also, the C70 molecules themselves are more stable in the nanotubes than in bulk crystals, manifested by a partial amorphization at 20 GPa. The crystal structure of C70 nanotubes could partially return to the initial structure after a pressure cycle above 30.8 GPa, and the C70 molecules were intact up to 43 GPa. The bulk modulus of C70 nanotubes is measured to be 50 GPa, which is twice larger than that of bulk C70.
