The surface-water interactions are pivotal in interfacial functions and properties relevant many natural processes, particularly the lubrication systems of living organisms, like articular cartilage, oral mucosa, cardiovascular system, muscle, tendon tissue. ion adsorption often determines performance, especially hydration superlubricity, which depends on surface charge characteristics types. superlubricity mechanism has been well understood over past 30 years, further promotes exploration development artificial materials inspired by nature. This review first introduces basic solid–liquid interface system related to hydrated ions. Then, influencing factors presented. Subsequently, negatively charged based overall modification summarized, including modified PEEK UHMWPE with ultra-low friction coefficient wear rate. Finally, potential application such joints underwater equipment put forward. It is projected that interest from science engineering communities will continue accelerate near future, accompanied concept superlubricitive engineering.
