Abstract

An ultra-light icosahedral fullerene structure is described having 12 pentagonal faces at the vertices of the regular icosahedron and 20 triangular faces, which are expanded by hexagonal faces that consist of carbon atoms. When its size exceeds a critical value, the density of the icosahedron becomes lower than that of air. Since the hollow structure deforms under atmospheric pressure, we proposed the addition of helium atoms as a means to obtaining a floatable icosahedral fullerene with pressure-resistant character. According to these requirements, the radius of the midpoint ball of the edge is 493.33 μm; the total density of the helium-filled structure is 0.18 kg m−3; and the buoyancy per cubic meter in the air is 10.88 N. Theoretical calculation and simulation are combined to explore a new approach to ultra-light materials.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
