MSE PRO High Purity (>99%) Fullerene-C70, 1 g
Introduction
Fullerene-C70 (C70) is a carbon allotrope composed of 70 sp²-hybridized carbon atoms arranged in a closed-cage molecular structure. Unlike the highly symmetrical spherical geometry of Fullerene C60, C70 features a more elongated molecular cage, giving it distinctive optical and electronic characteristics that make it valuable in advanced materials, organic electronics, photovoltaic research, and molecular electronics. As an important member of the fullerene family, C70 is widely investigated as an electron-accepting carbon nanomaterial in next-generation material systems. Its molecular structure and electronic behavior support research in organic photovoltaic cells, perovskite solar cells, semiconductor materials, thin-film devices, photodetectors, molecular electronics, and other high-performance nanomaterial applications.
Key Features
-
OPV Stability Benchmark — "C70 delivers superior long-term device stability compared to non-fullerene alternatives, validated in Nature Communications."
-
Broad-Spectrum Absorption — "C70 absorbs across a wider visible spectrum than C60, making it the preferred choice for high-efficiency organic solar research."
-
Biomedical-Grade Purity — "Strictly Metal-Free (< 5ppm), suitable for drug delivery and radical scavenging applications as documented in recent 2026 biomedical reviews."
