Research progress in preparation and application of fullerene

Abstract

The preparation, purification and application of fullerene were reviewed. The advantages and disadvantages of the preparation and purification methods of fullerene were compared by analyzing the factors such as yield and cost. The application status of fullerene materials in lubrication, catalysis, biomedicine and other fields were summarized. It was also pointed out that the preparation and purification methods of fullerene should be further optimized and improved in the direction of low cost and high yield. At the same time, it was supposed to strengthen the theoretical research on the reaction mechanism of fullerene application in order to develop fullerene materials from the perspective of design.
