Abstract

In this research we choose TBAH as phase transfer and different density of H2O2 as oxidizing agent, which make fullerene’s c-c bond open. At the same time, in the high concentration of NaOH solution C60 can connect with hydroxyl. Then the products undergo the infrared spectroscopy test, UV-Vis test, fluorescence test and elemental analysis to sure the number of hydroxyl on the surface of C60. Finally, our next work is to use it into health care wine to improve people’s life quality.
