摘要

Abstract

Carbon

the fourth most abundant element in the Universe

possesses numerous allotropes with diverse bonding character (

- and

-hybridized bonds) and structural motif of the constituting atoms. In particular

the carbon materials with a fully or nearly 100%

-hybridized strong C-C bonds often lead to excellent mechanical properties

chemical stability

thermal and optical properties

such as crystalline diamond and diamond-like amorphous carbon (DLC). In this review

we systematically summarize the synthesis

microstructure

mechanical properties

thermal and optical properties of ultrahard carbon materials with current experimental results on nano-polycrystalline diamond (NPD)

nanotwinned diamond (NTD)

micro-grained polycrystalline diamond (MPD)

and amorphous diamond/carbon. In addition

we discuss the difference of spectra of XRD

Raman and EELS between various nanocrystalline diamond powder and ultrahard carbon materials. Finally

we provide our insights into the future development and applications in the research of ultrahard carbon bulk materials by high-pressure a

nd high-temperature techniques according to the current advantages

limitations and challenges in the experiment.
