Synthesis
and tribological properties of graphene: A review
Parveen Kumar, M.F. Wani
Tribology Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir, India
Abstract
The target of this review is to explore the
fundamental tribological behaviour of graphene, the first existing
two-dimensional (2-D) material and evaluate its performance as a
self-lubricating material. The importance and potential impact of
this new class of material was recognised by the whole scientific
community when the Noble prize was awarded to Geim and Konstantin
Novoselov for their discovery and development of graphene in 2010.
Graphene is the strongest material, chemically and thermally stable,
gas-impermeable, and atomically-thin. The fundamental tribological
behaviour of graphene and other 2-D materials under sliding
conditions is recently being studied. Mainly, the wear of graphene
has hardly been investigated. In this paper, the latest developments
in tribological applications of graphene, and preparation methods
are reviewed. It is shown that various graphene coatings, graphene
as lubricant additive and as reinforcement in metal matrix can be
successfully employed to decrease friction and wear in tribological
applications. A comprehensive review is provided with the aim to
analyse such properties of graphene. Moreover, the application of
graphene in the field of tribology for reducing friction and wear
for better lubrication will be explored.
