Some Aspects of Fullerene Application

  • Chapter

  • 575 Accesses

Abstract

Some aspects of fullerene applications are reviewed, including the following: diamond production from fullerenes, the growth of diamond films and quantum-size structures on the base of silicon carbide, the development of cost-effective commercial technologies for fullerene production. It has been suggested that it is possible even with the existing prices, to use fullerenes as catalysts in the synthesis of diamond from graphite and as the initial material for making nano-size emitting structures integrated into silicon electronics.
