C60 (99.95%, MTR Ltd, Cleveland, Ohio, US) and C70 fullerene powder (99.0%, MTR Ltd., Cleveland, Ohio, US) were used as received. Each fullerene was dissolved in mesitylene (98%, Alfa Aesar, Heysham, Lancashire, UK) at room temperature under ultrasonication for 2 h; then, the solutions were filtered (syringe filter, pore: 0.02 μm, Whatman, Maidstone, Kent, UK) to remove invisible residue and undissolved fullerenes. The concentrations of the solutions were measured using UV-Vis absorption spectra and were then diluted with mesitylene to concentrations of 0.1–0.2 mM. C60-mesitylene and C70-mesitylene solutions with the same molarity were mixed at volume ratios of 1:1 and were then mixed with ethanol (99.9%, Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US) in a 1:30 ratio (fullerene solution:ethanol v/v) under ultrasonication for 20 s. The mixed solutions were kept at room temperature for 24 h, and precipitated fullerene flowers were pipetted into appropriate substrates for further characterization.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
