The study of the stability of fullerene C60 films

Abstract

The aim of this work was to study the stability of fullerene C60 upon irradiation by visible light in air flow. The fullerene film with thickness of 100 nm are studied. Analysis of the results was performed by HPLC and UV spectroscopy. It appeared that under experimental conditions the stability of the fullerene is low. When specific power of irradiation of the analyzed films W = 70 mW/cm2 for 300 hours and simultaneously pumping the air, the products of oxidation and polymerization of fullerenes are formed.
