Abstract

AbstractHigh temperature annealing in vacuum, air, hydrogen, chlorine, and ammonia are described as a means to change surface chemistry and phase composition of nanodiamond powders of three different grades, which have different sp2/sp3carbon ratios. The changes in surface chemistry and phase composition of the powders are analyzed using Raman spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) spectroscopy. Advantages and limitation of high-temperature treatment techniques as well as potential applications of the gas-treated nanodiamond powders are discussed.
