“…Second, the C:H:O ratio of ethanol is within the predicted composition range for solid carbon precipitation 19 and, by adding H 2 , the ratio can be systematically tuned from non-diamond to diamond phase growth. Finally, ethanol has a suitable vapour pressure, not too high, resulting in excessive soot formation, but not too low, preventing particle nucleation.…”

“…The microplasma process is comparable to PECVD and the combination of plasma dissociation and gas-phase chemistry may aid the nucleation of diamond-phase carbon analogous to chemical vapour deposition (CVD) diamond 19 . Similar to CVD, atomic hydrogen may kinetically etch the non-diamond sp 2 carbon and allow diamond-phase sp 3 carbon to grow 1 .…”

Formation of nanodiamonds at near-ambient conditions via microplasma dissociation of ethanol vapour

Clusters of diamond-phase carbon, known as nanodiamonds, exhibit novel mechanical, optical and biological properties that have elicited interest for a wide range of technological applications. Although diamond is predicted to be more stable than graphite at the nanoscale, extreme environments are typically used to produce nanodiamonds. Here we show that nanodiamonds can be stably formed in the gas phase at atmospheric pressure and neutral gas temperatures o100°C by dissociation of ethanol vapour in a novel microplasma process. Addition of hydrogen gas to the process allows in flight purification by selective etching of the non-diamond carbon and stabilization of the nanodiamonds. The nanodiamond particles are predominantly between 2 and 5 nm in diameter, and exhibit cubic diamond, n-diamond and lonsdaleite crystal structures, similar to nanodiamonds recovered from meteoritic residues. These results may help explain the origin of nanodiamonds in the cosmos, and offer a simple and inexpensive route for the production of high-purity nanodiamonds.

“…30 This could be caused by either an interaction of molecular or atomic oxygen with the diamond surface, or by a change in gas-phase composition. To test the first hypothesis, the influence of the etching of carbon by O and O 2 via reactions ͑61͒-͑66͒ ͑Appendix B͒ has been compared to other etching routes.…”

A gas-phase and a surface mechanism were developed, suitable for multidimensional simulations of diamond oxy-acetylene torch reactors. The gas-phase mechanism was obtained by reducing a 48 species combustion chemistry mechanism to a 27 species mechanism with the aid of sensitivity analysis. The surface mechanism for growth on monocrystalline ͑100͒ surfaces developed, was based on literature quantum-mechanical calculations by Skokov et al. It consists of 67 elementary reaction steps and 41 species, and contains CH 3 and C 2 H 2 as gas-phase growth precursors and atomic hydrogen and oxygen to etch carbon from the surface. The gas-phase and surface chemistry models were tested in one-dimensional simulations, yielding dependencies of the growth rate on feed composition and surface temperature that are in qualitative agreement with the experiments. A more detailed study of the surface chemistry showed that, compared to CH 3 , acetylene contributes very little to diamond growth. Furthermore, molecular and atomic oxygen do not affect the diamond surface as much as atomic hydrogen because of their low concentrations.

“…Zhao et al 7 provided the diamond hydrothermal synthesis from the mixture of the glassy carbon, powdered nickel, diamond seeds and water at 800 o C and 1.4 kbar. From another hand, Bachmann et al 8 For diamond, it has been argued, that crystallization under P-T conditions, where diamond is actually thermodynamically unstable with respect to graphite, is possible due to kinetic factors 9,10 . Nanosize diamond particles have energetic preference upon graphitic particles of the same size and could be more stable at low P-T parameters (ref.1) [11][12][13] .…”

The model of nanosized diamond particles formation at metastable P-T parameters from fluid is presented. It explains the specific of CVD diamond synthesis gases mixtures and hydrothermal growth of diamond at low P-T parameters as well as it explains the geneses of metamorphic and magmatic nano-and microdiamond in the shallow depth Earth rocks and the genesis of interstellar nanodiamond formations in the space.The optimal gases system compositions for metastable diamond formations have been long debated in many publications during the long period. Badziag et al. 1 came to the conclusion that nanometer-sized diamonds could be more stable than graphite when formed from hydrocarbons with a H/C ratio of more than 0.24.
