Abstract

Fullerenes are popular electron acceptors for their high electron affinity and low reorganization energy. Photoexcitation in endohedral fullerenes (EMFs)-based donor–acceptor dyads have been comprehensively studied in the past decade. Different donor moieties such as ferrocene, exTTF, zinc tetraphenylporphyrine, triphenylamine were successfully used to construct EMF-based donor–acceptor dyads, and the charge/energy transfer mechanisms between versatile donors and EMF acceptors were extensively investigated. Besides, the charge carrier mobility of solid EMFs and applications of EMFs in organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells were also reviewed.
