Superlubricity has drawn substantial attention worldwide while the energy crisis is
challenging human beings. Hence, numerous endeavors are bestowed to design materials …

Abstract Around 1,000 peer-reviewed papers were selected from 3,450 articles published
during 2020–2021, and reviewed as the representative advances in tribology research …

From our ordinary lives to various mechanical systems, friction and wear are often
unavoidable phenomena that are heavily responsible for excessive expenditures of …

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial lubricants have received increasing attention as mild
and environmentally friendly friction and wear moderators because they can act as …

Hard chromium coatings have attracted much attention due to their strong tribological and
corrosion performance. There is a global need to replace such coatings in industrial …

Ultralow friction arising from interfaces of incommensurately stacked 2D/2D heterostructure
of two different crystal lattices provides a promising solution for designing a new generation …

Abstract Since Penta-Graphene (PG), a two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotrope exclusively
composed of five-membered rings, was proposed, its electronic structure, thermal …

Currently, macroscale liquid superlubricity remains limited to low applied loads and typical
ceramic friction pairs. In this study, a robust macroscale superlubricity with a coefficient of …

Abstract Large-scale two-dimensional (2D) moiré superlattices are driving a revolution in
designer quantum materials. The electronic interactions in these superlattices, strongly …

Using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we demonstrate that the
heterointerface of black phosphorus and graphene (BP/Gr) should be a promising lubricant …
