Very recently, two-dimensional quantum dots (2D QDs) have been pioneeringly investigated
as lubricant additives, which exhibit superior friction-reducing and wear resistance …

In the process of removing dye wastewater, the membrane surface is susceptible to
contamination, resulting in reduced performance and limited dye separation efficiency. A …

Calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) is the main binding phase of Portland cement concrete.
Though CSH is known to be assembled from nanoscale features, there is little experimental …

With the enhancement of environmental protection awareness of the international
community and the continuous promotion of green and sustainable development of …

Understanding the behavior of water contacting two-dimensional materials, such as
hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), is important in practical applications, including seawater …

Hypothesis Asphaltenes subfractions with distinct interfacial behaviors may play different
roles in stabilizing oil–water emulsions. Experiments In this work, whole asphaltenes were …

Owing to the green, high-performance, and application-specific work conditions, water-
based lubricating systems show unlimited potential for chemical engineering development …

Hypothesis: The use of water to reduce friction has always played a significant role in a wide
range of areas ranging from biology to engineering. Many efforts have been made to …

Counterion adsorption at the solid–liquid interface affects numerous applications. However,
the counterion adsorption density in the Stern layer has remained poorly evaluated. Here we …

Abstract Hypothesis Ionic liquids (ILs), as lubricant additives, can greatly improve the
lubricating behavior of the frictional interfaces. However, it is urgent to explore ILs with good …
