Fullerenes, discovered in 1985 by Kroto et al. [1], have provided an exciting new insight into carbon nanostructures with geometric architectures made up of sp2 carbon units. Carbon nanotubes (CNT), first reported in 1991 by Iijima [2], can be described as fullerenes that exist in cylindrical form. Due to their unprecedented physical and chemical properties, CNTs have generated huge activities in the fields of chemistry, physics, materials science, and electrical engineering.
