Abstract As a novel cross‐structured 2D material, violet phosphorus (VP) promises to further develop the dynamic performance, energy efficiency, and service lifetime of mechanical components owing its high strength toughness, large carrier mobility, wide bandgap, good friction‐reducing properties. In this work, partially oxidized nanosheets (oVP) are synthesized employed as lubricating additives in poly alpha olefin (PAO) oil environment with less oleic acid (OA) improver, which can trigger macroscale superlubricity on diamond‐like carbon (DLC) film deposited steel surface at loading pressures (>800 MPa) sliding speeds (>0.1 m s −1 ). The friction coefficient (COF) steel‐DLC tribopair lubricated by oVP‐PAO reduce down 0.0064 little wear. At high‐pressure interface, force‐thermal coupling action during running‐in process promotes cleavage recombination oVP OA molecules form reliable chemical adsorption tribofilm mainly composed oxides amorphous carbon, prevents original asperities from direct contact provides an ultralow shear strength. These findings suggest new method achieve oil‐based for engineering through lubrication catalyzation effects oVP.

Liquid-Like Carbon Dots as Lubricating Grease Additives

ACS Applied Nano Materials, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Янв. 29, 2025

Liquid-like nanomaterials are emerging as unique nanolubricating materials due to their combined advantages of fluidity and nanoscale size. However, development application have been hindered by relatively complex synthesis processes. Herein, a one-step method for synthesizing liquid-like carbon dots (LCDs) was developed introducing ammonium salts into citric acid–based system. Compared solid (CDs) synthesized with acid, LCDs exhibit characteristics, which were further explored through molecular simulations. When used additives in lubricating grease, demonstrate excellent tribological performance, including friction reduction, antiwear properties, improved load-carrying capacity. This study not only introduces simple cost-effective strategy producing LCDs, advancing the CDs but also expands understanding grease.

Achieving macroscale superlubricity on engineering steel by utilizing aqueous green lubricants has gained growing interest, given its substantial potential to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint. However, maintaining under diverse sliding conditions over a prolonged duration is major obstacle for real-scale applications. Herein, we report that robust durable tribofilm enabled unique lubrication mechanism based carboxylated graphene quantum dots (CGQDs) in glycerol triggers self-mated contacts. A dedicated intermittent test was designed show the superlubricity's robustness ability of adapt variety relevant conditions. Moreover, boundary film provides an average coefficient friction around 0.007 up 69 % wear reduction (compared base lubricant), resulting maintenance at real final contact pressure 123 MPa, which increases upper limit compared current aqueous-lubricated The new chemical adsorption CGQDs onto worn metal surface, coupled with tribo-induced structural degradation transformation into layered graphitic structures generate adaptable low-shear interface.

Dynamic Covalent Oleogel with Mechanical Force‐Induced Reversible Phase Transition for Self‐Adaptive Lubrication

Advanced Functional Materials, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Фев. 9, 2025

Abstract Substantial progress has been made in stimulus‐responsive and performance‐tunable hydrogels, yet endowing organogels with dynamic adaptive properties remains challenging. Especially, the development of functional oleogel materials is further constrained by weak interactions between oil gel network, along high viscosity oil. Herein, state self‐adaptability oleogels enabled constructing mechanical responsive covalent networks via ring‐opening polymerization thioctic acid (TA). Mechanically breaking rebuilding disulfide bonds endow force‐induced reversible phase transition poly(TA) oleogels. Mechanical bond breakage disrupts transforming into a sol state. Once force removed, rapid bonding sulfur radicals rebuilds network. Furthermore, this highly generalizable strategy potential as self‐adaptive lubricant. Self‐adaptive can exist or that adapts to whether machine running stopped. Systematic tribological tests confirm excellent lubricating their outstanding performance stability adapting changing friction conditions. This provides insights for developing properties, well new smart materials.
