Abstract

We have carried out screening of C₆₀ crystallization using a simple liquid/liquid interfacial precipitation method in a microfluidic device. By controlling the time, temperature, and concentration, various metastable phases of C₆₀ crystals were found, including tubes, spheres, open-ended hollow columns, stars, branches, and trees. The obtained C ₆₀ crystal shapes are similar to those of snow crystals. These findings suggest an urgent need to screen C₆₀ crystallization for the development of fullerene C₆₀ drugs.
