Here’s a long discussion about making it at home: http://www.longecity.org/forum/topic/58153-how-about-producing-c60-at-home/
Most of these people use magnetic stirrers, but I couldn’t get it to move a liter of oil.
So this is what I do:
I use an ice-cream maker like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach-68320-2-Quart-Capacity/dp/B001CGW338 (not that one specifically, but similar)
Because I assume the motor will overheat, I put it on a timer so it runs 15 minutes and is off 15 minutes.
I pour 1 liter of very high quality oil (or whatever amount you’re doing) into the bowl. Over the bowl, I crush 0.8 gram of fullerene powder between two stainless steel spoons. Generally the powder cakes to the spoons, so I “wash” the spoons in the oil until they are as clean as possible. By wash, I mean I rub the two spoons together in the oil and scrub off the caked on fullerene.
Into the bowl, I put the mixing paddle, and then I cover the bowl with cling wrap, making a single perforation to allow the mixing paddle to connect with the motor.
I put a black dish cloth over the top of the ice-cream maker and then let the timer stir it for 2 weeks. I keep it in a cool dark place during this time. When it’s done, there shouldn’t be any black sediment in the bottom. This is either a sign that it is not fully dissolved, or too much fullerene was added. I keep reading that not more than 0.9 grams will dissolve in a liter.
After two weeks, I filter it through a coffee filter into a dark glass bottle. I then wrap that bottle in a black dish cloth and store it in the refrigerator. Actually, first I set aside what I will use in a week so I don’t have to let the solution stand at room temperature to become liquid again. But I also keep that wrapped in a black dishcloth to avoid light.
Oh also, this Longecity forum has a ton of information. Useful also is getting the best quality oil, so maybe look to buy from a boutique producer: http://www.longecity.org/forum/forum/415-c60health/
