Three types of [60]fullerene crystals were obtained. The first one was the direct commercial [60]fullerene, and the other two were recrystallized from the first one in carbon bisulfide and in carbon bisulfide/petroleum ether, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X‐ray powder diffractometry (XRD), and FT‐IR spectrometry were used to study the physical characteristics of the crystals. The thermal stability of the three [60]fullerene crystals was studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA), and the effects of the three [60]fullerenes on the mechanical sensitivity and friction sensitivity of HMX were tested and analyzed. It was found that the three types of [60]fullerenes have different thermal stabilities, and the friction and impact sensitivities of HMX are reduced from 100% to 70% and to 60%, respectively when 1% [60]fullerene 3 was added in HMX.
