Abstract Nanodiamond is a new material which has the dual properties of diamond and nanomaterial. The dual properties have contributed to its wide applications in many industrial sectors. This paper briefly reviews the development of nanodiamond, describes its synthesis technology under dynamic high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, and introduces its properties as well as applications. Predictions are made about nanodiamond's potentially successful applications in the future.
