Application
Fullerenes C60, commonly referred to as buckyballs, are a fascinating form of molecular carbon with distinctive physical and chemical properties. These hollow, spherical structures, composed of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a polyhedral framework of pentagons and hexagons, were first synthesized in 1985. Notably, Fullerenes C60 have been studied for their remarkable potential across multiple fields. In skincare, they are incorporated for their excellent antioxidant and free-radical scavenging abilities, offering anti-aging benefits superior to traditional vitamins. Moreover, these molecules exhibit unique electrical and magnetic characteristics, opening avenues for diverse applications in nanotechnology, materials science, and electronics. From acting as charge carriers in batteries to enabling advanced optical properties and superconductivity, Fullerenes C60 stand as a significant member of carbon allotropes, promising innovations in pharmaceuticals, industrial materials, and beyond. Their versatility and stability suggest an ongoing exploration of their uses, including the development of novel compounds through the trapping of metal ions or chemical modification of their structure.
