Electrochemistry Properties of Fullerene C60-Retinol Nanostructured Electrodes Synthesized by Electrochemical Methods

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: In this paper, the controlled nanometer-scale growth of Fullerene C60, Retinol, and Fullerene C60-Retinol has been successfully achieved using electrochemical methods. In particular, the Fullerene C60-Retinol hybrid increased the number of active electrochemical sites by facilitating electron transfer to oxygen species adsorbed on the material surface. This finding is supported by results obtained using EIS and several other characterization methods. We demonstrate that fullerene C60-Retinol nanostructured thin-film electrodes exhibit a significant reduction in charge transfer resistance compared to their pure counterparts, and that incorporating C60 into retinol can be highly effective in reducing the charge transfer barrier during electrolytic processes. In light of these results, the electrochemically synthesized C60-retinol hybrid materials can be considered promising for future integration into biomedical-related technologies, provided that their biocompatibility and stability are verified in subsequent studies.
