Graphene materials considered to be promising candidates for next-generation lubricants
has been explored and summarized extensively, owing to their atomic-level lamellar …

In this Perspective, we present the recent advances in atomic friction measured of two-
dimensional materials obtained by friction force microscopy. Starting with the atomic-scale …

In recent decade, structural superlubricity has been established as one of the most effective
methods to achieve extremely low friction when two crystalline surfaces slide over each …

Structural superlubricity refers to the lubrication state in which the friction between two
crystalline surfaces in incommensurate contact is nearly zero; this has become an important …

The moiré superlattice, arising from the interface of mismatched single crystals, intricately
regulates the physical and mechanical properties of materials, giving rise to phenomena …

In a stack of atomically thin van der Waals layers, introducing interlayer twist creates a moiré
superlattice whose period is a function of twist angle. Changes in that twist angle of even …

The ultralow friction properties of 2D materials present significant potential for energy‐
saving application. Atomic force microscopy experiments on the moiré superlattice of …

Temperature is one of the governing factors affecting friction of solids. Undesired high
friction state has been generally reported at cryogenic temperatures due to the prohibition of …

A semianisotropic interfacial potential (SAIP) is proposed for the accurate description of the
complex van der Waals (vdW) interaction between noble metal surfaces (Cu, Ag, Au, Pt) and …

Friction-induced wear is a major cause of energy consumption and equipment failure and
graphene as a novel solid lubricant has become a hot topic in tribological engineering …
