History of Li@C60
Whereas endohedral metallo[60]fullerenes with lanthanide and alkaline earth metals were formed by laser vaporization or arc discharge, endohedral alkali metal-containing [60]fullerenes were produced by colliding ion beams or plasma with C60. In experiment

Preface
Fullerenes and fullerene derivatives have been studied in pure science since C60 was discovered in 1985, and are currently used in energy and biology related materials fields. Recently, endohedral lithium-containing [60] fullerenes, emerging fullerenebased materials, have attracted extensive attention because of their exotic properties such as their remarkable electron affinity, extraordinary chemical reactivity, and unique energy absorption properties. These properties are derived from an inner Li+ ion or Li atom inside a C60 cage. The endohedral lithium-containing [60]fullerenes involve Li+-containing C60, Li+@C60 and Li-containing C60, Li@C60. Initially, scientists tried to produce Li@C60 by means of lithium ion beams or lithium plasma through collisions between Li+ and C60. This effort led to the successful formation of Li@C60. However, they faced difficulty with the separation and purification of Li@C60. Although purification of Li@C60 was partially achieved,
