Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) materials are crystalline materials made of a single or a few
layers of atoms. They have been an active research subject in recent years because of their …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials such as graphene, hexagonal boron

Achieving structural superlubricity in graphitic samples of macroscale size is particularly
challenging due to difficulties in sliding large contact areas of commensurate stacking …

At the interfaces of 2D materials, the solid-state condensed matter physics is closely
intertwined with the mechanics in terms of adhesion/separation and friction as well as …

Newly emerging two-dimensional (2D) materials of MXenes possess lots of merits, which
provide potential solutions for the lubrication issues in harsh conditions. Here, preliminary …

Surficial water adsorption and interfacial water condensation as natural phenomena that can
alter the contact status of the solid interface and tribological performances are crucial in all …

Superlubricity of graphite sliding against graphene can be easily attained at the nanoscale
when it forms the incommensurate contact under a low contact pressure. However, the …

Here, we report a uniform and thickness controllable Ti 3 C 2-graphene oxide (GO)
nanocomposite film on the silicon substrate prepared by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) for …

Being a typical layer structured two-dimensional material, graphene has a high potential as
an efficient and atomically-thin solid lubricant. However, the outstanding lubricating property …

Owing to its intrinsically lubricious property, graphene has a high potential to be an
atomically thin solid lubricant for sliding interfaces. Despite its ultrahigh breaking strength at …
