Through the synergistic effect with stearic acid (SA), the (Cu-, Zn-)MOFs coating composited with CuS and ZnS exhibits excellent durability in extreme environments. This synergistic effect significantly improves the mechanical stability and durability of the coating, allowing it to maintain a WCA of >155° after friction, kneading, tape stripping and ultrasonic treatment. However, CuS/Cu-MOFs@SA coating is significantly superior to ZnS/Zn-MOFs@SA coating in terms of chemical stability (acid-base-salt environment) and self-cleaning ability due to the different ligands used in the preparation process and the formation of particle structure.

This study investigated the current-carrying friction behavior of CrN coatings when sliding against steel balls under both non-electrified and electrified conditions. The friction coefficient (CoF), wear volume, wear type, and mechanism of the coating were reported by adjusting the direct current (DC) intensity and lubrication status. The findings indicate that while the current significantly exacerbates substrate wear during dry friction, its impact on the CrN coating is minimal. Even at a maximum DC current of 1.5 A, the wear rate of CrN coating during dry friction is only 1.9 × 10<sup>−4</sup> mm<sup>3</sup>·(N·m)<sup>−1</sup>, representing a reduction by 79.1 % compared to the steel substrate. This effect is further pronounced when lubricated with PAO oil. The wear of CrN coating shows minimal change even as the current increased, and surface wear remains very slight. At a current of 1.5 A, the wear rate of CrN coating decreases to as low as 9.7 × 10<sup>−6</sup> mm<sup>3</sup>·(N·m)<sup>−1</sup>, indicating a reduction by 98.7 % compared to its substrate. It is observed that under electrified conditions, the oxidation and degradation of CrN coating are accelerated, thereby resulting in the formation of a loose and low-hardness Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> oxide layer on the surface. The oxide layer is primarily attributable to the deterioration in frictional properties of the CrN coating under electrified conditions.

The results demonstrate that increasing Ti and Nb content transforms the coating structure from a face-centered cubic (FCC) phase to a hybrid structure comprising FCC, body-centered cubic (BCC), and Laves phases, leading to a linear enhancement in surface hardness.
