In recent years, the discovery and development of new carbon materials, such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphene and graphyne, have caused widespread concern and research upsurge. Recently, the research team of Professor Zhu Yanwu of the University of Science and Technology of China has constructed carbon 60 polymer crystals and long-range ordered porous carbon crystals under atmospheric pressure, and has achieved their gram scale preparation. It is understood that before, for the preparation of such new carbon materials, researchers either used high temperature and high pressure and other limiting conditions, or used ultraviolet light, electron beam irradiation and other micro-treatment technologies. However, its low yield and impure product hinder people from further exploring the properties and applications of this kind of materials. In this study, the scientific research team creatively used lithium nitride to charge the fullerene carbon 60 molecular crystal and heat treatment at a mild temperature to finally obtain a large number of carbon 60 polymer crystals and long-range ordered porous carbon crystals. According to Zhu Yanwu, long-range ordered porous carbon crystals are a new kind of artificial carbon crystals, which may have potential applications in energy storage, ion screening, loaded catalysis and other fields in the future. The charge injection technology provides a "Lego" block-style preparation technology for the construction of such carbon-based crystal materials, and is expected to become a new way to control the crystal structure at the atomic level. "Next, we will systematically study the properties of long-range ordered porous carbon crystals, and hope to further regulate the atomic-level structural characteristics of crystals through fine adjustment of experimental parameters, and explore more properties and applications," said Zhu Yanwu. On January 12, the relevant research results were published in the international academic journal Nature. (Outlook New Era)
