Abstract
The tribofilm is crucial for the improvement of tribological properties, and the modulation of interfacial tribofilm through system construction and component optimization has become an important strategy to obtain excellent lubrication stability. In this work, ionic liquid (IL) functionalized hydrotalcite composites (IL-LDH) were designed and prepared as lubricating additives. The hydrotalcite was successfully exfoliated by ILs, and obtained a thinner and more flexible lamellar morphology structure. Meanwhile, the composite additives significantly improve the friction reduction, anti-wear and load-bearing properties of the basic system. The significantly improved tribological properties by IL-LDH are attributable not only to the formation of in-situ carbon layer contributed by the release and capture of ILs between the composite layers under shear, but also to the friction-induced organic-inorganic doped tribofilm under the coupling of multiple effects.
期刊介绍:
The journal Carbon is an international multidisciplinary forum for communicating scientific advances in the field of carbon materials. It reports new findings related to the formation, structure, properties, behaviors, and technological applications of carbons. Carbons are a broad class of ordered or disordered solid phases composed primarily of elemental carbon, including but not limited to carbon black, carbon fibers and filaments, carbon nanotubes, diamond and diamond-like carbon, fullerenes, glassy carbon, graphite, graphene, graphene-oxide, porous carbons, pyrolytic carbon, and other sp2 and non-sp2 hybridized carbon systems. Carbon is the companion title to the open access journal Carbon Trends. Relevant application areas for carbon materials include biology and medicine, catalysis, electronic, optoelectronic, spintronic, high-frequency, and photonic devices, energy storage and conversion systems, environmental applications and water treatment, smart materials and systems, and structural and thermal applications.
