Explain the reason and consequences behind the conversion of graphite to diamond being commercially not exploited
Explanation & Answer
Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question! I'll try my best to answer
the first reason is that it requires very high temperatures and very very high pressures close to 10 giga pascals
which is not at all economical to do.
second reason is that the surface energy of diamond is too high and the conversion of layered structure of graphite to tetrahedral of diamond is difficult.
