Abstract
By sequentially performing: a step (I) of dissolving fullerene C60 in a polyalkylene glycol to prepare a fullerene solution; a step (II) of immersing a material carbon fiber in the fullerene solution; and a step (III) of extracting the carbon fiber from the fullerene solution, washing the extracted carbon fiber with water, and drying the carbon fiber washed with water, a carbon fiber on which fullerene C60 adsorbs is obtained.
