The physical–chemical study of detonation nanodiamond application in adsorption and chromatography

Surface Modifications of Nanodiamonds and Current Issues for Their Biomedical Applications

“…Annealing treatments under H 2 flow at 850-900°C were reported for diamond particles bigger than 100 nm [104,105]. Nevertheless, this temperature range is very close to the one leading to graphitization for smaller nanodiamonds.…”

Functionality is Key: Recent Progress in the Surface Modification of Nanodiamond

“…One possible way of doing so is the application of hydrogen gas at elevated temperatures. This method was e.g., applied by Spitsyn et al82 However, the authors state that in addition to the formation of C–H bonds, an increase of the amount of OH‐groups is observed at the applied temperatures (850 °C). Tsubota and coworkers used the method to hydrogenate sub‐micron diamond at ∼900 °C.…”

“…The most successful method for the introduction of chlorine atoms on the diamond surface is the photochemical reaction of gaseous chlorine with hydrogenated nanodiamond 111. Other methods include the thermal chlorination with Cl 2 or CCl 4 82. The partial bromination of nanodiamond was achieved using a wet‐chemical reaction of hydroxylated nanodiamond with N ‐bromosuccinimide (NBS) in CCl 4 79…”

Ageing of nanodiamond powder: Physical characterization of the material

“…Nanodiamonds have a round shape, an active surface and a diamond-like hardness that can be very useful in a number of applications [1][2][3]. While they have been shown to be useful in a variety of industrial processes, their full potential of them is not yet realized [4].…”
