Abstract
A container-enclosed fullerene, a method of manufacturing the same, and a method of storing fullerene are provided, that make it possible to inhibit alteration of fullerene, especially that make it possible to prevent degradation of the solubility to solvent. A container-enclosed fullerene includes fullerene hermetically enclosed in a container with a high degree of vacuum. The internal pressure of the container is preferably 10 Pa or lower. The fullerene is preferably a metal encapsulated fullerene. The container-enclosed fullerene is manufactured by filling fullerene in a container, evacuating the container, and thereafter sealing the container.
Claims6
A container-enclosed fullerene, characterized in that fullerene, which comprises spherical carbons in which carbon atoms are bonded in a spherical shape, is hermetically enclosed in a vacuum container.
A method of manufacturing a container-enclosed fullerene, characterized by comprising:
- filling fullerene, which comprises spherical carbons in which carbon atoms are bonded in a spherical shape, in a container;
- evacuating the container;
- and thereafter sealing the container.
A method of storing fullerene, which comprises spherical carbons in which carbon atoms are bonded in a spherical shape, characterized in that the fullerene is stored in vacuum.
