Fullerene attachment to sharp-angle nanocones mediated by covalent oxygen bridging

Using a combination of transmission electron microscopy and density functional modeling we examine covalent bridging between carbon nanoforms, focusing on fullerene attachment to carbon nanocones (nanohorns). We show that oxygen mediates covalent cross-linking between carbon nanoforms, analogously t...
