Abstract

This study used a simple one-step hydrothermal method to synthesize the MoS₂/GR composites with a new morphology composed of graphene nanotubes and ultra-thin molybdenum disulfide with the help of sodium chloride. The composites were characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, and a series of characterization methods. Meanwhile, the tribological properties of the composites were studied. The results show that the addition of 1% MoS₂/GR composite nanotubes has excellent tribological properties. In addition, the structure and excellent tribological properties of MoS₂-C- nanocomposite lubrication materials will be conducive to designing new nanomaterials with 2D/3D structures, enhancing the anti-friction and anti-wear properties, and expanding their practical applications in industrial and agricultural fields.
