Tx. Wei et al., Fabrication and characterization of a new self-assembled monolayer of fullerene dicarboxylic acid derivative and its photoelectric conversion property, J COLL I SC, 222(2), 2000, pp. 262-264
A new fullerene self-assembled monolayer (SAM) which has the property of ph
otoelectric conversion is reported here. The SAM was fabricated on hydrophi
lic substrates by an esterification reaction. The SAM is characterized by c
ontact angle, AFM, UV spectrum, and cyclic voltammetry. A cathodic photocur
rent of 226 nA/cm(2) was obtained. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
