Abstract

We report the rapid high-yield generation of inorganic fiillerene-like cesium oxide (IF-Cs₂O) nanoparticles, activated by highly concentrated sunlight. The solar process represents an alternative to the only reported method for synthesizing IF-Cs₂O nanostructures: laser ablation. IF-Cs₂O formed at solar irradiation ≥ 6W, confirmed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy. These closed-cage Cs ₂O nanostructures are stable under electron microscope conditions, and also when exposed temporarily to air - of significance for their use in a variety of photonic devices.
