The vanishing friction, known as superlubricity, is potentially a significant performance
indicator in the development of nanostructured materials and has become increasingly …

Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) deposited as a thin film is an attractive material, both
technologically and from a scientific viewpoint, due to its unique combination of properties …

Diamond is a promising material for the modern industry. It is widely used in different
applications, such as cutting tools, optical windows, heat dissipation, and semiconductors …

Like the multilayered graphene which is the most widely used solid lubricant, graphdiyne
(GDY) as a 2D material holds potential similar prospects but has been rarely researched so …

We report the current density effect in controlling current-carrying friction of amorphous
carbon (aC) film sliding against steel ball. The current density at the sliding interface was set …

Diamond‐like carbon (DLC) films are capable of achieving superlubricity at sliding
interfaces by a rapid running‐in process. However, fundamental mechanisms governing the …

High friction and wear remain the major concerns in moving mechanical assemblies
(MMAs), leading to an excessive amount of wasted energy and premature system failure …

The development of renewable, low-cost, and high-efficiency cathode materials for oxygen
reduction to H 2 O 2 is desirable for use in electro-Fenton systems for the oxidative treatment …

Zeolite imidazole frameworks (ZIFs) have the advantages of high surface stiffness of
inorganic materials and low surface free energy of organic materials, which is expected to …

Friction, wear, and corrosion remain the major causes of premature failure of diverse
systems including hard-disk drives (HDDs). To enhance the areal density of HDDs beyond 1 …
