Lubrication for macroscopic friction pairs with single-layer graphene coating
With its strong mechanical properties, graphene has shown potential in applications for reducing friction and wear, but the underlying mechanisms for its macroscopic lubrication remain relatively unexplored. Here, we systematically study the lubrication effect of chemical vapor deposition graphene coated on the surfaces of macroscopic friction pairs made of different materials. Our findings reveal an apparent lubrication by single-layer graphene coating, as well as correlation between the COF and the brittleness of the substrate. Through a comprehensive characterization using Raman spectroscopy, we propose a protective mechanism by which graphene can effectively dissipate the resulting shear stress generated during friction and delay the wear generation until the graphene layer fails and the bare material surface starts to rub directly, which is confirmed by finite element analysis simulation. We believe our results can provide important support for the practical application of graphene coatings in lubrication for macroscopic friction pairs in industrial equipment.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
