Abstract
An in-situ method and system of collecting, in a liquid, non-agglomerated fullerenic material from a gaseous suspension is provided. The method and system collects non-agglomerated fullerenic material by contacting a gaseous suspension comprising fullerenic material with a suspension liquid, so as to capture the fullerenic material in the suspension liquid; and collecting the liquid suspension as a suspension liquid containing the fullerenic material. This method and system may be particularly useful for collecting fullerenes or nanotubes and maintaining them in solution in non-agglomerated states.
