Impact/Purpose:

Scientific meeting presentation.

Description:

Although Buckminster fullerene (C60) has an extremely low water solubility (~8 ng/L), the formation of stable clusters (aqu/nC60) not only greatly increases the mass of C60 dispersed in water, but also alters its physicochemical properties. This research focused on investigating the light-initiated transformation processes of aqu/nC60 aggregates in water. The irradiation kinetics of aqu/nC60 with simulated solar and monochromatic irradiation were investigated.
