Abstract:

A large number of structure defects and surface functional groups were found to exist in nanocondensed carbon (NCC) and nanodiamond (ND) synthesized by explosive detonation. Results from electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) showed that there were a lot of free radicals in both NCC and ND. It was also shown that there are great differences in the EPR characteristics between NCC and ND, including the figure, the peak area of the EPR curve, the g- factor, the peak-to-peak line-width ΔHpp, and so on. In addition, the influences of various factors, such as preparation method, condition of chemical treatment, size of the particles, surface modification and impurity admixture, on the density of free radicals were also discussed.

Key words: EPR, explosive detonation, nano-condensed carbon, nano-diamond, free radical
