Application

An n-channel organic semiconductor. Water suspension of C60 was studied for its effect on the growth, cell viability and membrane integrity of Escherichia coli B23.
C60 can be used for a wide range of applications, such as anode materials for lithium (Li)-ion batteries, and pentacene-C60 based solar cells with high quantum efficiency. It can be incorporated in (1,4-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) matrix for applications in photovoltaics.
Fullerene-C60 (sublimed, 99.9%) belongs to the class of carbonaceous materials. It can be used for a variety of alternative energy applications, which include lithium-ion batteries, organic photovoltaic cells (OPV), heterojunction solar cells, polymeric photodetectors, photodiodes, and photocatalysis.

General description

C60 is an n-channel organic semiconductor. High reactivity of fullerenes is attributed to its characteristic pyramidalization of the sp2 carbons. C60 is purified by column chromatography in toluene, then heat-treated under vacuum to remove solvent residue. Highly crystalline sublimed material with low solvent and metal content was recovered.
Fullerene-C60 (C60) has a closed-cage structure that is icosachedrally shaped with 60 sp2 hybridized carbon. It is majorly utilized in the development of novel materials for a wide range of energy based applications.
