The moiré superlattices (MSL) of twist two-dimensional van der Waals heterointerfaces accompanying with interfacial lattice distortion present abundant attractive physical properties, including fast interlayer charge-transfer, superconductor-insulator transition, emerging topological phase. Attributing to the optimized atomic lateral forces and elimination of interlayer lock-in by moiré superlattice, the superlubricity can be achieved and its theoretical foundations are still under extensive investigations. Here, the contributions of moiré-induced lattice distortions on the superlubricity of twist MoS₂/MoSe₂ heterointerfaces are comprehensively investigated by first-principles calculations. The localized electronic redistribution and the orbital hybridization by lattice distortions result in the band evolutions, reflecting the features of high symmetry points under different interfacial orientations. Moreover, the characteristic moiré …
