Hollow nanostructures are widely used in chemistry, materials, and bioscience due to their excellent electrochemical and photoelectric properties. Recently, hollow fullerene nanostructures with tailored opening and shapes have been synthesized. In article number 2000985 by Yuan Ping Feng, Hui Li, Lei Shen and co‐workers, the electronic transport properties of two‐node hollow‐fullerene‐based nanoelectronic devices, and their performance for sensing greenhouse gas molecule CF 4 , by density functional theory combined with nonequilibrium Green's function formalism are explored. Such device has a high sensitivity to CF 4 molecules in both dry and humidity environment owing to its good selectivity to H 2 O molecules.
