Abstract Structural superlubricity (SSL) at layered material interfaces is an exciting and vibrant field of research, offering vast opportunities to achieve ultralow friction wear with numerous potential technological applications. At increasing length‐scales, new physical chemical energy dissipation pathways emerge that threaten push the system out superlubric regime. Physical inhibitors SSL are primarily associated in‐plane elasticity, out‐of‐plane corrugation, moiré superlattices, grain boundaries, lattice defects. Chemical mechanisms may suppress behavior include interlayer bonding, wear, external contaminants. In this article, these other challenges reviewed facing scaling‐up structural superlubricity, as reflected in recent experimental theoretical studies. Further perspectives offered on future directions for realizing manipulating macroscale outlining it entails.
