Abstract

The preparation and size control for mono-dispersed fullerene C 60 fine particles was successfully achieved during the high temperature and high pressure fluid (HTPL) crystallization process, in which acetone was used as the HTPL solvent and pure water or the mixture of acetone and water as the cooling solvent. The prepared fullerene C 60 particles had spherical shape and narrow size distribution with the average size ranging from 44 nm to 110 nm depending on the various experimental conditions, such as fluid temperature, solvent flow rate, system pressure and the ratio of acetone and water in cooling solvent. The products were characterized by using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scan electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering technique (DLS) and UV–VIS spectrum, respectively. And the size effect of such fullerene C 60 nanocrystals was confirmed.
