During the past two decades, the self-assembly of spherical fullerene molecules has attracted intensive attention for their definite structures, high electronic affinity and three-dimensional (3D) electron transporting property. We report herein the systematical investigation of the self-assembly behavior of C60 molecules to form various polyhedron microstructures and well-aligned arrays together with their extraordinary optical properties.[1] Furthermore, a solution-processible co-assembly strategy taking advantage of charge-transfer interaction is developed to prepare C70/porphyrin supramolecular architectures, which possess excellent electrical conductivity and high thermal resistance, and charge separation characteristics.[2,3] More practically, porous carbon materials with abundant functional moieties are readily obtained by KOH activation of C70 microtubes, which exhibit excellent supercapacitor performances.[4]
