Description

The solvent molecules contained in C60NWs affect not only the shape but also the crystal structure of C60NWs. The solvents contained in C60NWs were found to be toluene and IPA by the GC-MS analysis. The most abundant solvent was toluene and the quantity of residual toluene in the as-prepared C60NWs was about 7 mass%. The quantity of impurity solvents is reported for the as-prepared, air-dried, vacuum-dried and heat-treated C60NWs.
