- the conventional synthesis method for OLCs consists in carrying out annealing at high temperature (1600-1800 ° C) on detonation nanodiamonds (NDs) under secondary vacuum (10 ⁇ 6 mbar) for several hours (usually 2 hours).
- microwaves have already been envisaged to reduce the structural defects of carbon nanotubes and thus improve their electronic properties (Imholt T. et al., Chem.Mater.2003, 15, 3969-3970; Lin W. ACS Nano, Vol.4, No.3, 1716-1722, 2010) but not for graphitizing diamond, that is to say transforming carbon into sp 3 (diamond) hybridization into carbon in sp 2 hybridization, in order to to synthesize a new material of the onion type of carbon.
- One of the aspects of the present invention is to provide OLCs of very good crystalline quality, inexpensively, quickly and adaptable to an industrial scale.
- Another aspect of the invention is to provide a method for preparing OLCs.
- Yet another aspect of the invention is to provide a process for preparing hydrophilic OLCs that can be deposited on surfaces.
- the present invention relates to a process for preparing carbon onions, comprising a step of exposing microwaves of spherical nanodiamonds having a crystalline core size of from about 2 nm to about 10 nm, as measured by diffraction X-rays (XRD), for a time t sufficient to cause a rise in heat on the surface of the nanodiamonds such that it induces the complete graphitization of the crystalline core under a primary vacuum at a pressure of less than or equal to about 10 -3 mbar
- XRD diffraction X-rays
- OLCs refers to nanomaterials consisting solely of concentric layers of graphitic carbon.
- Nanodiamonds must be spherical in order to obtain carbon onions.
- nanodiamonds are meant nanodiamonds which may have locally crystalline facets but whose overall shape is inscribed in a sphere.
- a non-spherical particle such as a diamond particle from grinding will therefore not form a carbon onion.
- the nanodiamonds consist of a crystalline core containing between 70 and 90% of the total carbon atoms of the NDs, an amorphous carbon intermediate layer of a thickness of 0.4 to 1.0 nm containing from 10 to 30% of the carbon atoms , and a surface layer containing various functional groups, essentially composed of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen.
- polycrystalline particles may have an overall size of 5 nm, for example, but will in fact consist of an assembly of nanoscale crystalline cores bonded together by carbon or amorphous carbon grain boundaries in sp 2 hybridization. .
- the heart must be monocrystalline and its size from 2 to 10 nm. Beyond 10 nm in core size, it is difficult to obtain spherical nanodiamonds.

- the nanodiamonds are placed in an enclosure that is part of an installation comprising all the elements necessary for the preparation of OLCs.
- the time t is comprised from 1 second to 1 hour to fully convert the NDs into OLCs.
- complete graphitization means that the NDs are converted integrally into OLCs, that is to say that they have only a sp 2 carbon graphite signature and are devoid of the carbon diamond signature sp 3 in XRD, XPS or Raman. This corresponds to the presence of diffraction peaks characteristic of graphite in XRD as well as characteristic lines in Raman spectroscopy (Mykhaylyk et al., J. Applied Physics 97 (2005) 074302).
- the carbon signatures sp 2 / sp 3 with the techniques mentioned above are as follows:

- the two carbon sp 2 and sp 3 hybridizations also correspond to different binding energies for the XPS carbon photoemission peak (Petit et al., Nanoscale, 2012, 4, 6792).
- the difference in binding energy between the sp 2 carbon of the graphite and the diamond sp 3 of the diamond is between 0.8-1 eV.
- the diamond component is + 0.8-1 eV compared to graphite.
- under primary vacuum at a pressure less than or equal to about 10" mbar means that the pressure in the chamber is in the range of about 10 ⁇ 4 mbar to about 10 -3 mbar.

- substantially free of carbon atoms in sp 2 hybridization at their surface means that the NDs are substantially free of carbon in sp 2 hybridization at their surface as determined by the substantial absence of graphite signature in XRD, XPS or Raman, that is to say that NDs are totally devoid of carbon in sp 2 hybridization at their surface and correspond to nanodiamonds not at all graphitized or NDs are insufficiently provided with carbon in sp 2 hybridization at their surface as as determined by the graphite deficiency in XRD, XPS or Raman, that is to say that the NDs are insufficiently provided with carbon in sp 2 hybridization at their surface and correspond to insufficiently graphitized nanodiamonds.
- insufficiently graphitized nanodiamonds refers to the limit of detection of graphite on the surface of nanodiamonds, namely 0.5% atomic with the XPS method.

- the NDs are insufficiently hydrogenated on their surface and the presence of heteroelements, in particular oxidized groups covalently bonded to the surface, corresponds to insufficiently hydrogenated nanodiamonds.
- the NDs must therefore undergo a partial hydrogenation treatment at the surface, in particular by treatment with microwave plasma to obtain nanodiamonds partially hydrogenated surface.

- Onions of carbon are carbon nanomaterials with multiple applications.
- They can in particular be used to develop supercapacitors, to absorb electromagnetic waves, to induce UV filtration properties or to improve the friction performance of lubricants.
- OLCs can accumulate energy in the form of opposite charges in a confined space, according to the principle of capacitors. The amount of stored energy is however much greater than with a conventional capacitor.
- the advantage compared to a conventional battery is that it is possible to charge and discharge supercapacitors particularly fast. These supercapacitors are therefore intermediate between the capacitors and the batteries.
- the very specific nanometer-scale onion structure of OLCs makes it possible to produce extremely compact supercapacitors with exceptional charge and discharge capacities (Pech et al, 2010). These supercapacitors could be particularly useful for applications where it is useful to store energy in a small volume such as in nomadic electronics, biomedical implants or microsensors.
- OLCs can also be used to synthesize materials that absorb electromagnetic waves in the microwave range (1-300 GHz) (Maksimenko et al, 2007) and THz (Liu, Das, & Megaridis, 2014).
- the attenuation of electromagnetic waves is important in the field of reducing the radar signature of flying objects, for the protection of users of intense lasers or for reducing electromagnetic noise for electronic modules or computers for example.
- the interest of the OLCs is to combine good absorption capacities with a light weight. They can be easily integrated on portable objects while being able to be synthesized at a low cost. It has also recently been proposed to use OLCs as carbonaceous antennas in order to replace conventional antennas with metallic materials (Vacirca, McDonough, Jost, Gogotsi, & Kurzweg, 2013).
- OLCs have also been mentioned in the field of lubricants.
- a very significant reduction in the coefficient of friction (50%) has been measured when OLCs are added to motor oils (Street, KW, Marchetti M, Vander Wal RL, Tomasek AJ, 2004) (Matsumoto N., Joly- Pottuz L., Kinoshita H., Ohmae N., 2007).
- the formation of the carbon onion is incomplete and a diamond core remains, it can be used as a UV radiation filtration agent (UVA, UVB and UVC), in particular for the field of cosmetics and sunscreens.
- UVA, UVB and UVC UV radiation filtration agent
- the compromise between UV filtration capacity and transparency of the cream is related to the proportion of graphitic layers on the nanodiamond.

- FIG. 6 shows the Zeta potential greater than 30 mV of the OLCs stabilized in water after exposure to UV according to Example 3.
- Step 1 Microwave plasma (MW) hydrogenation (300 W, 14-15 mbar, 15 min).
- This treatment makes it possible to optimize the superficial chemistry of NDs to amplify the absorption of MWs.
- the detonation NDs are placed in a quartz tube under hydrogen and exposure to MWs induces the formation of a hydrogen plasma.
- This method is described in reference Girard et al., Diamond and related materials, 2010, 19, 1117-1123. It should be noted that the waveguide is cooled with water and the tube is cooled with compressed air. This tube is connected to a primary pumping device and supply of high purity hydrogen N9.0 and argon gas. At first, a series of purges is carried out via a primary pumping in the tube (pressure ⁇ 0.1 mbar) and repressurization with high purity hydrogen, then the high purity hydrogen is injected until a pressure is reached.
- This pressure is either maintained throughout the hydrogenation process by tube insulation (static mode), or maintained by the combination of a continuous flow of hydrogen and a pressure control valve under reference (dynamic mode ).
- the geometry of the microwaves in the waveguide is adapted to obtain a power absorbed by the maximum plasma and a zero reflected power at the generator.
- the tube is regularly rotated and translated manually to ensure that the majority of NDs are exposed to plasma. It is important to perform a purge after 5 min of treatment in order to evacuate oxidized species desorbed from the ND surface. After stopping the microwaves, the tube is pumped in primary vacuum, then pure hydrogen is reintroduced to initiate the formation of a new plasma. This intermediate purge is not useful in the case of hydrogenation under dynamic flow.
- Step 2 Primary vacuum pumping (10 3 mbar) from the tube and MW exposure (300 W, 30 seconds) of the hydrogenated NDs.
- the hydrogenated NDs according to the process described in step 1 can be graphitized following their hydrogenation, in situ, by a simple re-exposure to microwaves under a primary vacuum. Indeed, the inventors have observed that the hydrogenated NDs have the capacity to absorb microwaves under vacuum.
- the focus of the MWs on the NDs is adjusted by the adjusting piston to minimize the reflected contribution.
- the very rapid rise in the temperature of the NDs results in flickering of the nanoparticles. This flicker observation makes it possible to validate the experimental conditions necessary for the formation of OLCs. Under these conditions, the microwave power is absorbed only by the NDs and is converted into heat. Exposure greater than or equal to 30 seconds leads to the formation of entirely graphitic nanoparticles where the diamond core has completely disappeared.
- OLCs In order to deposit these OLCs over large areas, for example to make supercapacitors, it is advantageous to obtain OLCs in the form of a stable suspension.
- These OLCs are initially hydrophobic but an oxidation treatment allows them to stabilize in water.
- the use of a UV treatment is particularly interesting because it makes the OLCs hydrophilic without significantly altering their crystalline quality.
- OLCs synthesized by MWs exposure after hydrogenation were thus exposed to a UV lamp (172 nm, excimer lamp Heraeus) for 2 hours in air. This exposure takes place in a confined space whose pressure can be regulated between the atmospheric pressure and the primary vacuum. A pure oxygen atmosphere can advantageously be used to increase the oxidation rate.
- the optimal conditions correspond to 200 mbar.
- the distance between the NDs deposited in a crucible and the UV lamp is less than 5 cm.
- the OLCs were dispersed in water by sonification for 2h and characterized by dynamic light scattering. They have a positive Zeta potential in water greater than 30 mV ( Figure 6), which implies good colloidal stability.
