Low-dimensional carbon-based materials, including 0D fullerene, 1D carbon nanotube, and 2D graphene, have been widely used as electroactive building blocks for sustainable energy conversion heterostructure nanosystems. These materials have unique physical and chemical properties at the nanoscale, such as high conductivity, high specific surface area, and tunable electronics, making them the focus of new renewable energy technologies. In this context, 0D carbon-based nanomaterials, like fullerenes and fullertubes, have garnered substantial attention as rising star energy materials. This editorial spotlight article outlines the current advancements in the utilization of 0D-fullerene and fullertube-based nanoelectrocatalysts for energy conversion.
