Title A name given to the resource Cost-effective route to nanodiamonds from low-rank coal and their fluorescent &amp; dielectric characteristics Subject The topic of the resource Coal; Conductivity; Dielectric; Fluorescence; Nanodiamonds Description An account of the resource The synthesis of nanodiamonds from abundant and inexpensive precursors has recently piqued the curiosity of researchers. It has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of nanodiamonds and open up a plethora of new applications. In this work, fluorescent nanodiamonds with smaller particle sizes with rich surface functionality are synthesized from low-grade coal lignite by employing a facile acidic oxidation and ultrasonication approach. The extracted nanodiamond particles are hydrophilic and display high excitation-dependent fluorescence in the aqueous medium. The excitation-dependent fluorescence can be ascribed to the collaboration and competition of the OH and COOH functional groups. The as-synthesized nanodiamonds also show good dielectric permittivity and ac conductivity over a wide frequency range at room temperature. The present research opens up the possibility of mass production of nanodiamonds on the industrial scale from a low-cost precursor. 2021 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Raj A.M.; Manoj B.
