Nanodiamond is a relatively new nanomaterial with broad prospects for application. In this paper, a variety of methods were used to analyze comprehensively chemicophysics properties of the detonation monocrystalline and synthetic polycrystalline nanodiamond, XRD spectroscopy, EDS, HRTEM, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, TGA-DTA and BET. The results show that the monocryctalline detonation nanodiamond particles are spherical or elliptical shape of 4nm ~ 6nm grain size and the polycryctalline synthetic nanodiamond particles are angular shape of 80nm ~ 120nm grain size. The surface of the monocrystalline and polycrystalline nanodiamond contain hydroxy, carbonyl, carboxyl, ether-based resin, and other functional groups. The phase transition temperature of the monocrystalline detonation nanodiamond in the $N_2$ is about $650^{\circ}C$.
