摘要
Water soluble carbon quantum dots(CQDs) were prepared and used as lubricant additives in deionized(DI) water. The impacts of CQDs on the tribological properties of water were evaluated for both Si_3N_4-on-steel and Si_3N_4-on-Si_3N_4 contacts. Experimental results show that the coefficient of friction(COF) reduced in the two types of tribopairs after the addition of CQDs.Maximum reductions in COF were found to be 30% and 14% for the Si_3N_4-steel and Si_3N_4-Si_3N_4 contacts, respectively. In terms of wear behaviors, the CQDs notably improved tribofilm formation on the Si_3N_4 disk surface for the Si_3N_4-Si_3N_4 contacts,confirming that the nanoparticles increase friction while providing better protection from wear. This research will help to expand the application of CQDs as promising additives in water-based lubricants.
