Fullerenes

In 1991 TDA started developing a combustion-based fullerene production process and in 2001, a complete 3ton/year system was built and licensed for Frontier Carbon (a joint venture of Mitsubishi and Nanotech Partners); at the time the world’s largest facility. By 2003, TDA built and licensed all of the reactors for Frontier Carbon’s 30-ton/year plants.

• More than 90% of the fullerenes ever made have been produced in TDA’s reactors, their use is growing since fullerene derivatives are then-type semiconductors in organic photovoltaics.
