The invention provides embedded
metal fullerene and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: mixing a
metal source and
graphite powder, and filling a hollow
graphite rod with the mixture to prepare an
anode; the
electrode is installed at the
anode end of an
electric arc furnace, and on-line activation is conducted through
anode and
cathode short-circuit current under the
inert atmosphere; then carrying out arc
discharge under specific air pressure and current, and collecting generated carbon ash; performing ultrasonic extraction by using an
organic solvent to obtain a
fullerene crude extracting solution; and finally, performing multi-stage separation and purification by
high performance liquid chromatography, and performing primary and fine separation by sequentially adopting preparative and semi-preparative chromatographic columns to obtain a high-purity product. According to the method, a complete technical path capable of efficiently and controllably preparing the ultra-high-purity embedded
metal fullerene is formed through a synthesis process integrating online activation and accurate
atmosphere regulation and control and a multi-stage gradient
chromatography purification strategy, and a
solid foundation is laid for application of atomic-scale accurate materials in the frontier fields of
quantum devices and the like.
