Mineral Energy Initiative (MIE) of Gemological Institute Of America (GIA) managed to create a laboratory-scale power plant test for a diamond-based mineral fuel and it's results are impressive. The new process is simple, safe, and can be done with only a few kilograms of crude. With this small-scale fuel source, it's possible to create power generators that use almost any conventional fuel source (e.g. gasoline, diesel, propane, natural gas, etc.) and the test shows a potential of 20+ energy density at very low temperature.

GIA's MIE laboratory test shows that it's possible to synthesize ultra-pure nanodiamond at a laboratory scale using simple, safe methods that are completely reproducible and do not involve high temperature and pressures as would be required by any commercial laboratory or commercial process. GIA-MIE's laboratory power plant test uses only a few kilograms of crude, produces ultra-pure nanodiamond fuel that is comparable to or even superior to the synthetic nanodiamonds that are currently available, and has demonstrated an energy density that is equivalent to what's been obtained in large-scale tests using higher grade crude.

GIA-MIE's nanodiamond can be produced in an industrial setting and could provide a viable source of energy for future space exploration and deep space missions.

The research paper is available for free from the Institute of Diamond Technology (IDT).

"This demonstration of the viability of producing ultra-pure nanodiamond via a simple laboratory process in which only crude is used represents a paradigm shift in the industry. It provides a cost-effective, safe and scalable method of producing ultra-pure nanodiamond using only crude," said Robert J. Birkman, Ph.D., GIA's director of technical services. "The work presented here can lead to the development of technology that will generate energy via inexpensive and safe methods in both terrestrial and non-terrestrial applications. We believe this work will open up new avenues for research, development and application."

"I am extremely excited about this work," said Dany Le Tallec, the lead author of the paper. "We have had some of the world's top diamond researchers collaborate with us to develop a simple process to efficiently produce ultra-pure nanodiamond. This material has immense potential for use in a variety of applications including energy."

The work reported in the study is a collaborative effort that included scientists from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), the Air Force Research Laboratory, the Department of Defense's Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, the National Institute of Standards and Technology and GIA.

GIA scientists collaborated with LANL scientists led by Hao Lin, a co-author of the study, to develop a new material called ultra-pure nanodiamond using only crude graphite as the source material. They demonstrated that it is possible to convert 99.9994 percent of graphite to ultra-pure nanodiamond in a single reaction.

In addition to the research, this study represents the first time that one of the world's top pure diamond sources has converted crude graphite to pure nanodiamond using a single reaction. This has demonstrated the potential for the commercial-scale production of ultra-pure nanodiamond to transform industry and society.

"The simple and efficient process using only crude graphite is one of the most significant milestones in the history of diamond research. It has the potential to lead to a paradigm shift in the industry," said co-author Hao Lin.

Discovery has the potential to impact industry, energy and society

Diamond is currently produced at a rate of over two billion carats per year by a number of commercial manufacturers, with a growth rate of 10 percent annually.

The potential commercial-scale production of ultra-pure nanodiamond has the potential to transform industry, energy and society. Applications of this technology include:

Industry: Increased production, quality and scale of nanodiamond applications.

Energy: Nano diamonds are expected to be the hardest material ever synthesized, making them excellent candidates for applications in armor. These applications include hardening body armor, hardening tools, and hardening weapons.

Health: Ultra-pure nanodiamond is expected to lead to new applications in health care.

Society: Ultra-pure nanodiamond has applications in environmental science and remediation.

While all-diamond hard and transparent cutting and polishing tools and lenses are commercially available today, most are only available in limited quantities. Nanodiamond is expected to yield products in larger quantities and quality that are equal to or better than that currently available.
