Specifications | MSDS | Resources and Support | Literature and Reviews
C60 fullerene malonic acid is a substituted C60 fullerene derivative. The functionalization of buckminsterfullerene with multiple malonic acid groups introduces water-soluble properties. C60 fullerene malonic acid, also referred to as carboxyfullerene, demonstrates potent antioxidant properties. It serves as an effective inhibitor of lipid peroxidation, and a scavenger for both peroxides and superoxide anions.
On gold Au (111) surfaces, C60 fullerene malonic acid can self-assemble into a ultrathin layer. It form a two-dimensional (2D) network with strong interactions to the surface through hydrogen bonding from the malonic acid groups.
C60 fullerene malonic acid has also been used as electrolyte additive in high-capacity lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). By forming a stable interface between the cathode and the electrolyte, C60 fullerene malonic acid can help to promote the structural stability of NCM811 cathode, and to mitigate the parasitic reaction of residual lithium compounds with LiPF6.

Water-Soluble Fullerenes: Preparation and Applications
Water-soluble fullerenes, such as fullerenol C60, are either chemically modified, polymer grafted, or encapsulated in a hydrophillic agent. Fullerenes can then disperse or solubilize in aqueous media. Typical examples of water-soluble fullerenes are polyhydroxylated fullerenes, also knowns as fullerenols, polycarboxylated fullerenes and polysulfonated fullerenes.
