The effect of thermal treatment on the Raman spectra of detonation nanodiamonds was investigated in comparison with those of natural nanodiamonds. It was found that annealing in air at 430–550 °C leads to the appearance of a distinct diamond peak at 1328 cm⁻¹ and a decrease in the intensity of disordered carbon bands. Thermal treatment reduces the fraction of sp²-hybridized carbon atoms and improves the stability of nanodiamond particles in aqueous suspensions.
