SYNTHESIS OF AXC60 FILM BY ELECTROLYSIS

The electrolysis was adopted to obtain the AxC60 (A=Rb) film from an o rganic electrolyte solution including C60 molecules. The used solution was a mixture of 0.3mM-C60, 0.1N-RbClO4 and dimetyleformuamide (DMF)/ Toluene (1:1). The particles in the obtained film had a spindle-like s hape and grew up to the size of about 1 mu m depending on the reaction temperature. The Raman spectra of the obtained films showed the exist ence of solid C60 and revealed the features of the polymeric Rb1C60, o f which the crystal structure was confirmed a body-centered-orthorhomb ic phase by X-ray diffraction.
