The article studies the possibility of the existence of synergetic effects while considering the evolution of silicon properties and silicon-based materials, used in electronic material science, concerned with the appearance of energy flow and the material of a new phase (amorphous or crystal) disturbing its major properties, under the influence of the exchange with the environment.

We studied the composition and structural properties of amorphous, uncrystallized, fullerene analogous carbon containing natural mineral shungite from Zazhoginskoe deposit in Karelia (Russian Federation) and microporous crystalline aluminosilicate mineral zeolite (Most, Bulgaria). There are submitted data about the nanostructure, obtained with using of transmission electron microscopy (TEM-method), IR-spectroscopy (NES and DNES-method), as well as composition and physical chemical properties of these minerals. The average energy (∆EH... O) of hydrogen Н…O-bonds among individual molecules H2O after treatment of shungite and zeolite with water is measured at –0,1137 eV for shungite and -0,1174 eV for zeolite. The calculation of ∆EH... O for shungite with using DNES method compiles 0,0025±0,0011 eV and for zeolite -1,2±0,0011 eV. This result suggests the restructuring of ∆EH...O values among H2O molecules with a statistically reliable increase of local maximums in DNES-spectra. Also are demonstrated the prospects of using shungite, possessing high absorption, catalytic and bactericidal activity, as an adsorbent in water-treatment, water purification, and other industries.
