Description
Fullerene-C70, Purity: 96% – Advanced Carbon Nanomaterial for Multifunctional Applications
Fullerene-C70 is a carbon-based nanomaterial consisting of 70 carbon atoms arranged in a closed-cage structure. Its elongated, rugby-ball-like geometry is made up of 25 hexagons and 12 pentagons, with each carbon atom positioned at the vertex of a polygon and bonded along its edges. This unique molecular arrangement contributes to its high stability, electron affinity, and mechanical strength.
Derived from high-purity graphite and produced through advanced vacuum-sublimation and arc-discharge techniques, Fullerene-C70 (96% purity) retains excellent conductivity and reactivity. Compared to the more symmetrical C60, C70 offers enhanced chemical selectivity and the ability to form a wider range of derivatives, making it suitable for advanced research and industrial uses.
The molecule’s electron-accepting capacity, high rigidity, and optical absorption spectrum make it especially valuable in energy systems, medical research, and nanotechnology. Studies have shown that C70 can withstand extreme nanoindentation forces, demonstrating mechanical properties significantly superior to amorphous carbon or similarly treated graphite.
