Diamond is a material with extraordinary properties -electrically wide-band gap semiconducting and optical properties, high mechanical strength, high thermal conductivity, and biocompatibility.Single crystalline and nanocrystalline diamond thin films and diamond particle materials are utilized in a broad range of current applications and possess potential for novel future uses.Examples are high-power and high-temperature electronics, supercapacitors, single photon sources, microelectromechanical systems, sensor technology, diamond blades for medical surgery, functionalized nanoparticle materials for medical application, photocatalytic conversion of CO 2 to chemicals and fuels, detector windows, electrodes for electrochemistry, surface coatings, tool coating, and abrasives.Diamond as ā€˜supermaterial’ is of high demand in industrial sectors, as diverse as oil and gas drilling, mining, road maintenance, stone and construction, wood-working, automotive, aerospace, and electronics.
