Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) materials are crystalline materials made of a single or a few
layers of atoms. They have been an active research subject in recent years because of their …

When material dimensions are reduced to the nanoscale, exceptional physical mechanics
properties can be obtained that differ significantly from the corresponding bulk materials …

Advancements in electrochemical double-layer capacitor (EDLC) technology require the
concomitant use of novel efficient electrode materials and viable electrode manufacturing …

Friction and wear properties of graphene nanosheets prepared by different processes as
solid lubricant on silicon dioxide have been comparatively studied via calibrated atomic …

Strain, bending rigidity, and adhesion are interwoven in determining how graphene
responds when pulled across a substrate. Using Raman spectroscopy of circular, graphene …

Several studies have successfully demonstrated the friction-reduction and anti-wear
properties of graphene on the nano-and micro-scales, but our understanding of the …

As one of the most widely used nanofabrication methods, the atomic force microscopy (AFM)
tip-based nanomachining technique offers important advantages, including nanoscale …

Efficient ionic transport in nanoporous carbon electrodes is pivotal for the development of
high-rate electrochemical capacitive energy storage in supercapacitors (SCs). Over the past …

The physical properties of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are closely related to their
morphology; meanwhile GNRs can easily slide on surfaces (eg, superlubricity), which may …

In this paper, we investigate the friction behaviors of graphene flakes sliding on a gold
substrate using molecular dynamics simulations. The effects of flake size, flake shape …
