Tribochemical Reaction Dynamics of Phosphoric Ester Lubricant Additive by Using a Hybrid Tight-Binding Quantum Chemical Molecular Dynamics Method

Abstract: To study the atomistic behavior of the phosphoric ester molecule on the nascent Fe surface under boundary lubrication conditions, we adopted a hybrid tight-binding quantum chemical molecular dynamics method. First, we investigated chemical interactions between phosphoric ester and the nascent Fe surface. Phosphoric ester was shown to interact with the nascent Fe surface, forming both covalent and ionic bonds. Formation and dissociation dynamics of covalent bonds during tribochemical reaction was clearly observ… Show more

“…In the absence of mechanical stress, the phosphorothionate molecules adsorbed on the substrate at low temperature (303-353 K), as described by Koyama et al [27]. The activation temperature for the thermal decomposition of TPPT molecules was found to be around 423 K. The thermal films produced at this temperature consisted of short-chain polyphosphates and oxidized sulfur species, as indicated by the XPS results.…”

“…The composition of the layer generated at 423 K was found to be dependent on the length of the alkyl chains bound to the phenyl rings: with longer chains, the phosphate concentration decreased, while the sulphur concentration increased. On the basis of these findings, a reaction mechanism was proposed: following the adsorption of the sulphur atom to the surface, as suggested by Koyama et al [27], the phosphorothionate molecules started decomposing with the scission of the P=S bond, followed by the cleavage of the C-O or P-O bond. The released sulphur was then oxidized.…”

“…17) After minimization, molecular dynamics simulation was carried out using our in house program NEW-RYUDO. [18][19][20][21] MD simulations were carried out for 500000 steps with a step size of 0.1 fs and temperature of 298 K. Furthermore, many geometrical parameters were also analyzed throughout the simulation.…”
