A method to increase the microhardness of the chromium galvanic coating by adding a mixture of carbon nanomaterials (nanodiamonds, single-walled and multi-walled nanotubes, graphene oxide) into a standard chromium galvanic coating electrolyte was proposed. The increase in the microhardness of the chromium galvanic coating was revealed and explained. This is due to a combination of two mechanisms: the introduction of nanodiamonds into the crystal lattice of the coating metal and the appearance of additional crystallization centers on defects in carbon nanotubes. The method of obtaining parts with a higher service life when using traditional chromium galvanic coating, as well as when using multi-walled carbon nanotubes, single-walled carbon nanotubes, nanodiamonds, and graphene oxide separately, was demonstrated. The best result was obtained using a mixture of nanodiamonds and multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The microhardness of the nanomodified chromium galvanic coating was measured, and it was found to increase by 27 %.

With the technological progress in the synthesis of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and single-walled carbon nanotubes, more attention was attracted to the synthesis of carbon nanotubes with diameter distribution, ideal length, different chirality and certain orientation. In recent decade, all these factors have been investigated and a number of progresses have been made for the application of carbon nanotubes. The latest researches on the growth of diameter-controlled single-walled carbon nanotubes are reviewed and discussed. The existing problems and challenges of the synthesis processes have been addressed in the future directions.

Arc-discharge has been widely used in the bulk production of various carbon nanomaterials, especially for structurally more robust single-walled carbon nanotubes. In this paper, the same bulk-production technique was applied to the synthesis of significantly13C-enriched graphitic materials, from which graphene oxides similarly enriched with13C were prepared and characterized. The results demonstrate that arc-discharge is a convenient method to produce bulk quantities of13C-enriched graphene materials from relatively less expensive precursors (largely amorphous13C powders).
