Experimental evaluation of total hydrogen capacity for fullerite C60

The hydrogenation process as a method of investigation of fullerene C60 molecule

“…4). But this assumption is not consistent with experimental results [38,39] on the quantity of hydrogen atoms.…”

“…Our investigations [38] have shown that the multi-stage character of process of the fullerene molecule formation in the plasma conditions further reflects on its behavior in the crystal lattice and at its interaction with the chemical elements and compounds. As noted above, this multi-stage process of the fullerene molecule formation, which is observed during the transition of carbon atom from the atomic state to the formation of spherical molecules, can be expressed in the following sequence: atom e a chain of atoms e pentagon (pentatomic molecule) e a pair of pentagons (pyracyclene unit) e sphere.…”

“…This is confirmed by the fact that the average mass of absorbed hydrogen by one degree of temperature increase remains constant for any heating rate of fullerite, i.e. hydrogenation of the fullerene molecule is the energy-regulated process in which the system temperature determines the number of hydrogen atoms on the shell of fullerene molecule [38].…”

Clustering of hydrochloric acid on the surface of C60/C70 fullerite and its composites with nanosilica

“…The active solar cells, hydrogen accumulators, high‐density information storage ROM, etc. can be made on their basis . Great attention is paid to the use of fullerenes in medicine and biotechnology due to their high antioxidant potential and affinity to lipids, certain types of enzymes and DNA .…”

Theoretical study of hydrogen adsorption on Ca-decorated C48B12 clusters

“…[6][7][8][9][10] In particular, boron/carbon-based nanomaterials have received a great deal of attention due to their light weights, high surface to volume ratio and the tunable size-dependent properties. [11][12][13] Nevertheless, it has been demonstrated that pure boron/carbon materials are not favorable for hydrogen storage because they interact weakly with hydrogen. 14,15 Boron/carbon-based nanostructures functionalized by metal atoms have been a subject of active study.…”
