Fullerene C60
Fullerenes C60 is the primary starting material for the synthesis of organic semiconductors used in solar cells, perovskites, and bio/pharma applications.
High purity Fullerene-C60 (carbon 60, or C60, fullerenes) for use in thermal evaporation systems as either electron acceptors, n-type semiconductors, or interface layers.
We do offer regular grades which may contain traces of volatiles (solvents) as 99.50% – 99.90%. High purity solvent-free C60 is also offered as 99.50%+ to 99.99%+ grades, specially formulated for biological oriented R&D and processes demanding ultra-pure fullerenes.
Our C60 fullerene is packed and shipped into high-quality glass amber vials under nitrogen.
REGULAR GRADES:
Grade: 99.50% (SOL5060A) – Regular grade with some residual solvent, 0.1 – 0.5% – Good Purity grade for synthesis.
Grade: 99.90% (SOL5060Z) – Regular grade with some residual solvent, 0.1 – 0.5% – High Purity grade for synthesis.
SOLVENT FREE GRADES:
Grade: 99.50% (SOL5060X) – Solvent-free* – High Purity grade for synthesis.
Grade: 99.90% (SOL5060W) – Solvent-free* – 
™ High Purity grade for synthesis.
Grade: 99.95% (SOL5060Y) – Solvent-free* – ™ Very High Purity grade for synthesis, Standards and Bio-Pharma R&D.
Grade: 99.99% (SOL5060YY) – Solvent-free* – ™ Ultra High Purity grade for synthesis, Standards and Bio-Pharma R&D.
™ *products:
These C60 products are going through further process in order to be highly soluble in organic solvents, oils and other related medias.
Time to dissolve/disperse in (provided as guideline only):
Toluene: Few seconds to few minutes (max 3 g/L)
o-DCB: Few seconds to few minutes (max 24 g/L)
Olive oil: 3-5 days (to 0.8-1g/L, vs 2 weeks for most commun C60 powder)
*Solvents and volatiles are removed by subjecting the C60 to a controlled heat-cool process under dynamic inert medical nitrogen in order to suppress oxidation and preserve its pristine nature.
