Abstract

Gas-antisolvent (GAS) process using CO₂ successfully prepared crystals of fullerene (C₆₀) from a toluene solution through a precipitation. Particle sizes of precipitated C₆₀ could be easily controlled by changing the initial pressurization rate of CO₂, the temperature at the initial pressurization, and the quantity of C₆₀. Fullerene particles obtained by GAS method had regular octahedral shapes, whereas the particles obtained by adding liquid ethanol as an antisolvent to C₆₀ solution did not have such shape. Particle sizes could be changed in a range of 1.0-8.5 μm by GAS method; they were wider than the range of particles obtained by ethanol addition (0.7-1.8 μm).
