ABSTRACT
Photoinduced energy conversion processes are at the center of many green and renewable energy technologies. 1–7 Materials widely used for photo-energy conversion are classic semiconductors, especially those at the nanoscale, such as silicon nanoparticles, semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), or nanorods. 3,4,8–15 Since the discovery of fullerenes, 16 carbon nanomaterials have been widely pursued for their photon-harvesting and photoinduced redox characteristics relevant to energy conversion applications. 17–20 In fact, fullerene derivatives are among the most popular materials used in organic or related photovoltaic devices. 21–27
