Diamond is renowned for its superior hardness and diverse applications.Due to insufficient supply and high prices of natural diamonds,artificially Lab grown diamonds have emerged as a promising alternative.This article first elaborates on the unique prop-erties of diamonds and their significance in technological fields,and analyzes the scarcity issue of natural diamonds.It then provides a detailed overview of the development of cul-tivated diamonds,introducing the two main synthesis methods-High Pressure High Temperature(HPHT)method and chemical vapor deposition(CVD),along with current technical challenges.Next,the article predicts future perspectives of cultivated dia-monds,analyzing their vast application potential in areas like gemology,semiconductors and quantum technology,as well as the technical barriers to realizing these applications.Finally,suggestions are presented on expediting the maturation and commercialization process of cultivated diamond technologies.The purpose of this article is to comprehen-sively review the current status and trends of cultivated diamond research,serving as a reference for researchers and industry practitioners in this field.
