The “block‐on‐plate” nanocomposite structure material is realized with the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF‐67) on graphene oxide (GO) with surface oxygen‐rich functional groups. Scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X‐ray diffractograms, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and ZIF‐67/GO demonstrate a high capability of promoting the lubricating performance of [Choline][Proline] ([CH][P]) bio‐ionic liquid. Specifically, the wear volume of the disc by [CH][P]‐0.1 ZIF‐67/GO is only 52% of the one lubricated by pure [CH][P]. Moreover, ZIF‐67/GO shows a long time, high dispersion stability in [CH][P]. In addition, the combination of GO nanosheets and ZIF‐67 can make ZIF‐67/GO have better polishing effect between the steels during the friction process, which can effectively form a robust lubrication layer and improves overall lubricating properties. As a result, the interfacial lubrication can be significantly improved by these newly developed [CH][P]‐ZIF‐67/GO lubricants. This work offers a new promising application for ZIF‐67 nanocomposites with GO in advanced lubrication systems. This work also provides a new strategy of producing lubricants containing nanoparticles with high dispersion stability, which may solve the biggest challenge in this field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
