Nanodiamonds

Nanodiamonds (65 nm, dodecane functionalized, powder) is a low-cost nanomaterial that can be produced in a large scale by the controlled detonation of carbon. It can be used for a variety of applications such as supercapacitors, drug delivery, lithium-ion batteries, and catalysis.

Nanodiamonds modified with hydrocarbons exhibit colloidal stability in hydrophobic and non-polar solvents including lithium ion battery electrolytes. Hydrocarbon modified nanodiamonds have also been shown to suppress the dendrite formation in lithium ion batteries.
