What are uses of buckminsterfullerence???? |
|
Answer» Make electrode in a cell,to make pencil lead,and other. Buckministerfullerene is the smallest fullerene molecule. A fullerene is a molecule made of only carbon. It has a variety of shapes like spherical, ellipsoid or tubes but they are hollow. In Buckministersfullerene, there are hexagonal and pentagonal rings but none of the pentagonal rings share an edge.Its uses are:-It is used as semi- conductors.It can be used as a molecular filter or a carrier for other molecules.Compressed buckministersfullerene can be used as a cutting tool or hardening agent.Its stability and bonding property makes it a good lubricant.Specially, when fluorine is attached on the exterior which increases the ability of its round shape.It can also be used as a storage for hydrogen atoms.It can also be used to hold and transfer safely radioactive wastes and materials. |
