The results show that Chinese coals are potential candidates for producing fullerenes, and the yields of fullerenes are related to the properties of raw coals, such as ash content in coal and carbon content in coke electrodes made from coals. Because coal contains weak co alent bonds linking macromolecular structural units w ith a number of aromatic rings, large fragments can coexist in the arc plasma together w ith C and C units. This implies that these large 1 2 fragments may play an important role in forming fullerenes. It is also found that the fullerene yields decrease as the ash content in coal increases, and increase w ith increasing carbon content in coal- based coke electrodes. T he demineralization treatment is of great help to fullerene formation. The ful
