Synthesis and tribological properties of the novel tubular MoS2/GR nanocomposite

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 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.
