PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing an inclusion cluster at a low cost in a high yield. SOLUTION: An electrode 6 vacuum-deposited with a film 8 of C<SB>60</SB>fullerene which is one type of a carbon cluster is immersed in a sodium chloride solution 3 being an electrolyte solution. The sodium chloride in the solution 3 is ionized into sodium ions Na<SP>+</SP>and chloride ions Cl<SP>-</SP>. When a negative voltage is applied to the electrode 6, the fullerene membrane is fed with electrons and is negatively charged. The fullerene membrane attracts and includes the sodium ions Na<SP>+</SP>in the solution to form sodium-atom-including fullerene. Thereafter, the fullerene membrane 8 is subjected to e.g. a chemical process to extract the sodium-atom-including fullerene from the fullerene membrane 8. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
