Highly functionalized fullerenes can be efficiently constructed by various techniques.

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) which are nanofragments of graphene with an average size between 2 and 50 nm have attracted much attention due to their outstanding properties such as high conductivity, high surface area, and good solubility in various solvents. GQDs combine the quantum confinement and edges effects and the properties of graphene. Therefore, GQDs offers a broad range of applications in various fields (medicine, energy conversion, and energy storage devices). This review will present the recent research based on the introduction of GQDs in batteries, supercapacitors, and micro‐supercapacitors as electrodes materials or mixed with an active material as an auxiliary agent. Tables, discussed on selected examples, summarize the electrochemical performances and finally, challenges and perspectives are recalled for the subsequent optimization strategy of electrode materials. This review is expected to appeal a broad interest on functional GQDs materials and promote the further development of high‐performance energy storage device.

Hexaazido and hexaiodo macrocyclic methanofullerenes undergo high-yielding sixfold click reactions or sixfold Heck, Sonogashira and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions, respectively, to yield all organic building blocks for higher molecular architectures.

The use of a hexakisazido macrocyclic methanofullerene proves to be highly efficient in the preparation of 6-arm star polymers via copper(I) catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition.
