We are trying to synthesisze buckyball nanoparticles from commercially purchased fullerene powder. We stirred in deionized water, but the quality of nanoparticles is not good.
Any suggestion, easy to handle method will be highly appreciated.
1. Try to dilute your solution by at least 10 times (may be 100?).
2. Find another SEM lab to produce decent pictures. The one you presented is of very low quality, not suited for any research. Sometimes you can see particles even in agglomerations, like one in your picture, but you need much higher magnifications and picture quality.
