XRD analysis resulted in between 97% and 99% graphitisation indicates that the
graphite crystals of all samples investigated were almost perfect and therefore
suitable for highly demanding applications such as Lithium-ion batteries or
synthetic diamonds
Not sure if that was mentioned before, but still retained in the latest presentation.
The idea of creating diamonds in a laboratory is not new. Scientists have been at it since the mid-19th century, armed with the knowledge that diamonds are the product of carbon that’s exposed to high heat and pressure. But applying this in a lab environment remained elusive until the 1950s. Since then, three different techniques have been developed to produce increasingly authentic-looking synthetic diamonds. This applies to their appearance, as well as their physical properties such as thermal conductivity, electron mobility and hardness, which can even be superior to natural diamonds.
Thus, synthetic diamonds are increasingly used in high-tech laser cutting and polishing tools. Electronic applications are also being developed for various industries, such as power stations. Analysts estimate that more than 95% of all industrial diamonds are synthetic.

Albany, NY, April 08, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to the research study, the global synthetic diamond market was worth US$15.7 bn in 2014. Driven by the lower cost of synthetic diamonds in comparison with natural diamonds and the rise in the number of industrial applications of synthetic diamonds, the market is expected to witness a rise of close to 100% in the next eight years, ending up at US$28.8 bn by 2023.
