Pristine graphene has been considered one of the most promising materials because of its
excellent physical and chemical properties. However, various defects in graphene produced …

From our ordinary lives to various mechanical systems, friction and wear are often
unavoidable phenomena that are heavily responsible for excessive expenditures of …

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2) heterostructure nanosheets
(rGO-MoS 2-1) were synthesized via vertically growing of MoS 2 on rGO skeleton using a …

Due to the weak van der Waals interaction between two-dimensional materials, one can
stack or twist two-dimensional materials to obtain novel or enhanced physical and chemical …

Ultralow friction arising from interfaces of incommensurately stacked 2D/2D heterostructure
of two different crystal lattices provides a promising solution for designing a new generation …

Abstract Since Penta-Graphene (PG), a two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotrope exclusively
composed of five-membered rings, was proposed, its electronic structure, thermal …

The sliding friction of a graphene flake atop strained graphene substrates is studied using
molecular dynamics simulation. We demonstrate that in this superlubric system, friction can …

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have the potential to be superlubricated materials due to
their strong adsorption effect and weak internal interaction. However, obtaining stable …

Incommensurate stacking between two different types of two-dimensional layered materials
furnished the weak interfacial interaction due to the mismatch of their lattice structure, which …

This work investigates the coupling effect of structural lubrication and thermal excitation on
phononic friction between black phosphorus (BP) layers. As the rotation angle increases …
