Preparation process of high-purity fullerol
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of fullerene materials, in particular to a preparation process of high-purity fullerol.
Background
Fullerene is a hollow molecule composed entirely of carbon, and is in the shape of a sphere, ellipsoid, column or tube. The fullerene has super-strong permeability due to the nanometer size; it has super strong oxidation resistance and can eliminate free radicals; and a perfect symmetrical structure and an ultra-stable performance are known as 'nanometer prince', and the fullerene has wide application in a plurality of fields, and the fullerene family represented by C60 opens up a new research direction in physics, chemistry and material science by the unique shape and good properties of the fullerene family. Like benzene, which is very common in organic chemistry, fullerenes, represented by C60, form the basis of a rich and varied class of organic compounds. Many unusual properties of new fullerene materials can have many practical applications in modern technologies and industries, including lubricants, catalysts, abrasives, cosmetics, high strength carbon fibers, semiconductors, nonlinear optical devices, superconducting materials, photoconductors, organic solar high energy cells, fuels, sensors, molecular devices, and for medical imaging and therapy.
C60 and its derivatives are the most studied and used fullerenes because C60 is the relatively most readily available, most easily purified, and least expensive species in the fullerene family. In particular, the cosmetic effects of fullerenes are mainly: resisting aging, removing wrinkle, whitening skin, removing speckle, inhibiting acne, and shrinking follicular orifice. Since fullerenes dissolve poorly in most solvents, they are typically dissolved with an aromatic solvent, such as toluene, chlorobenzene, or a non-aromatic solvent, carbon disulfide.
Fullerol is a derivative of fullerene, and is obtained by chemically introducing hydroxyl groups into fullerene carbons. The synthesis reaction of the fullerol is generally an acid method, a bromination method and the like, and after the synthesis is finished, the fullerol product with certain purity is obtained by multiple liquid-liquid extraction with water, acetone, tetrahydrofuran or benzene. The conventional liquid-liquid extraction method has the problems of complicated operation steps and high solvent consumption on one hand, and has the problems of relatively low purity of the extracted fullerol on the other hand, and the conventional liquid-liquid extraction method cannot distinguish the fullerol products with different hydroxyl numbers, thereby bringing great troubles to the quality control and the using effect of the fullerol.
The purpose of introducing hydroxyl groups into fullerene is to improve the water solubility of fullerene, but the fullerene has better water solubility only when the number of hydroxyl groups reaches more than 20. In practical application, the fullerene alcohol needs to maintain the stability of O60 and increase the solubility of fullerene, and most importantly, the biological safety is guaranteed in biological application, so that the development of a green and environment-friendly method with high biological safety is of great significance.
