This review paper provides a comprehensive overview of the phenomenon of superlubricity,
its associated material characteristics, and its potential applications. Superlubricity, the state …

Macroscale superlubricity on engineering steel surfaces offers a promising solution for
minimizing friction and wear in engineering applications. However, achieving superlubricity …

Liquid superlubricity has attracted much attention, due to its ability to significantly reduce
friction on the macroscale. However, the severe wear caused by the long running-in period …

Cations can achieve excellent hydration lubrication at smooth interfaces under both
microscale and macroscale conditions due to the boundary layer composed of hydration …

Traditional greases gradually cannot meet the performance requirements of high efficiency
lubrication, and new nano-thickener greases are expected to be a promising lubricant. This …

High-temperature lubrication has always been a hot topic in the lubricant and grease
industry, and is also an essential concern in the high-end equipment sector to be addressed …

The porous structure and flexible crystal deformation ability of ZIF-8 provide ideas for the
preparation of new inorganic nano-lubrication additives. Herein, the polydopamine (PDA) …

It is, in fact, inevitable for steel to be covered with a layer of iron oxides and/or peroxides on
its surface. However, knowledge of its existence and functionality for tribological behaviors is …

Adding additives (eg, carbon dots, CDs) to liquid lubricants is an effective method for
enhancing their load‐bearing capacity and friction reduction. However, it is challenging to …

Electric potential controlled lubrication, also known as triboelectrochemistry or
electrotunable tribology, is an emerging field to regulate the friction, wear, and lubrication …
