The limited content and distribution of lithium–sulfur (Li–S) battery adsorption-catalytic
materials limit the sufficient anchoring and conversion of soluble polysulfides …

After doing several miscibility essays with eight ionic liquids (ILs) and four base oils, the ILs
tri (butyl) ethylphosphonium diethylphosphate [P4, 4, 4, 2][C2C2PO4] and trihexyl …

In this work, we investigated the feasibility of five quaternary (aprotic) and four tertiary (protic)
ammonium ionic liquids (ILs) with an identical organophosphate anion as lubricant anti …

We performed, for the first time to our knowledge, fully ab initio molecular dynamics
simulations of additive tribochemistry in boundary lubrication conditions. We consider an …

Understanding the mechanism of antiwear (AW) tribofilm formation and how to tune surface
chemistry to control functionality is essential for the development of the next generation of oil …

Organophosphorus compounds are common additives included in liquid lubricants for many
applications, in particular automotive applications. Typically, organic phosphites function as …

Energy-saving electrolytic hydrogen production is the precondition for implementing large-
scale hydrogen energy exploitation. Replacing the sluggish water oxidation reaction with …

While ZDDP tribofilm formation has been widely studied, the mechanism of ZDDP tribofilm
removal during rubbing is still unclear. The study employs a ball on disc tribometer to …

Sulfur and phosphorus are key elements for the functionality of lubricant additives used in
extreme pressure applications, such as synchronizer systems in cars. To understand their …

The reaction of trimethyl-phosphite, TMPi, with a clean Fe (110) surface has been
investigated by ab initio calculations. The most stable configurations and energies are …
