C_<60> fullerene nanotubes with diameters ranging from about 100 nm to 1000 nm have been successfully prepared by the liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation method. Further, C_<60> microtubes vertically aligned on a porous alumina membrane have been synthesized using a newly developed method that injects isopropyl alcohol into a toluene solution saturated with C_<60>. These Cso micro and nano tubes will have a wide application for solar cells, field-effect transistors, composite fillers for plastics and so forth in future.
