Description
Fullerene C70 (SOL5070) – High-Purity Carbon 70 for OPV & Medical R&D
Fullerene C70 (CAS: 115383-22-7) is a primary starting material and n-type organic semiconductor utilized in organic photovoltaics (OPV), perovskite interfaces, water purification, biohazard protection, and medical research. Manufactured by Solaris Chem, SOL5070 is offered in high-purity regular and solvent-free eZeSol™ grades with controlled thermal processing under inert medical nitrogen.
Key Applications of Fullerene C70
- Organic Photovoltaics (OPV): High-performance electron acceptor material for bulk heterojunction solar cell architectures.
- Water Purification: Advanced carbon-based filtration and catalytic media.
- Biohazard Protection: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulation and protective nanostructures.
- Medical Research: Essential precursor for targeted drug delivery and antiviral/antibacterial formulations.
Available High-Purity C70 Grades
Regular Grades (0.1 – 0.5% Residual Solvents)
- Grade 98.0% (SOL5070U): High-purity grade for standard chemical synthesis.
- Grade 99.0% (SOL5070B): High-purity grade for synthesis and general R&D.
- Grade 99.5% (SOL5070A): High-purity grade for device fabrication and optimization.
Solvent-Free Grades (eZeSol™ Series)
- Grade 99.0% (SOL5070V): Solvent-free high-purity grade for synthesis.
- Grade 99.5% (SOL5070X): Solvent-free high-purity grade for bio-pharma, standards, and advanced R&D.
The eZeSol™ Solvent-Free Advantage
Our eZeSol™ C70 products undergo a proprietary process where solvents and volatiles are fully removed by subjecting the C70 carbon to a controlled heat-cool cycle under dynamic inert medical nitrogen. This suppresses oxidation, preserves its pristine nature, and allows the material to be highly soluble in organic solvents, oils, and related media.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Fullerene C70 (SOL5070)
What is Fullerene C70 used for in electronics and biomedical applications?
Fullerene C70 (SOL5070) serves as a primary starting material and n-type semiconductor in organic photovoltaics (OPV), perovskite solar cells, water purification systems, biohazard protection, and medical research.
What is the difference between regular and eZeSol™ solvent-free C70 grades?
Regular C70 grades (SOL5070U, SOL5070B, SOL5070A) contain 0.1–0.5% residual volatile solvents suitable for standard organic synthesis. eZeSol™ solvent-free grades (SOL5070V, SOL5070X) undergo a controlled heat-cool process under dynamic inert medical nitrogen to remove all volatiles and maximize solubility in organic solvents and oils.
