The lubrication performance of liquids is severely restricted and is degraded in high-temperature environments.Stable and reliable lubrication in high temperature environments has been a long-standing goal in various industrial fields.In this study,WS2 and Ti3C2Tx MXene nanoflakes were used as oil-based lubricant additives to generate ultra-low friction and even super-lubricity(friction coefficient of~0.007)at elevated temperatures(400℃),which has hitherto not been achieved by both individual pristine materials,WS2 and Ti3C2Tx MXene.Viscosity and thermogravimetric characterization revealed improve-ments in the high-temperature rheological properties and thermal stability of the lubricating base oil,indicating improved load-bearing and continuous lubrication capabilities at elevated temperatures.X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,transmission electron microscopy,and atomic force microscopy demonstrated that the formation of an iron/titanium/tungsten-rich oxide lubricious thin film at the sliding interface reduced the interfacial shear stress,which was responsible for the observed friction and wear reductions at high contact pressures(>1.1 GPa).Although the titanium/tungsten oxide film was gradually removed after prolonged sliding,a sufficiently thick iron oxide film maintained a low friction coefficient for at least 2 h.The improved surface quality facilitates the achievement of ultra-low friction and reduced wear.The proposed lubrication methodology has a broad utilization potential as a wear-reduction strategy across various industrial fields at elevated temperatures.
