A carbon nanobelt (CNB) is a loop formed by fused benzene rings. In this study, we investigated the effect of thermal treatment on the electrical properties of particles formed by the compounds. First, we synthesised particles composed of compounds; C60-(6,6)CNB-C60, by mixing two solutions of (6,6)CNBs and C60 molecules and then annealed the particles at 600 °C for 1 h. We found that the particles became conductive after thermal treatment. We suppose that the alteration of the electrical properties of the particles had been caused by some structural change; i.e., CNBs were opened up to form networks supported by C60 molecules.
