Structural Superlubricity of Two-Dimensional Materials: Mechanisms, Properties, Influencing Factors, and Applications

open access: yesLubricants
Structural superlubricity refers to the lubrication state in which the friction between two crystalline surfaces in incommensurate contact is nearly zero; this has become an important branch in recent tribological research. Two-dimensional (2D) materials

Macroscale superlubricity enabled by the synergy effect of oil and S–C co-infiltration coating on 20CrMnTi steel surface

open access: yesFriction
To explore macroscopic superlubricity in industrial fields, S–C co-infiltration treatment refers to the sulfurization of carburized gear steel to achieve a synergistic lubrication effect. The carburized layer at the bottom provides high-strength support.

Breaking the 2‐nm Barrier in Hard Disk Drives Using Monolayer Amorphous Carbon Overcoats

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 15, 12 March 2026.
The rapid growth of AI has increased demand for large‐scale data storage, making HDDs indispensable in data centers. Increasing areal storage density is crucial, but limited by the traditional carbon overcoats (COC). Monolayer amorphous carbon (MAC) offers a superior alternative.

Experimental advances in superlubricity [PDF]

open access: yesFriction, 2014
Abstract Superlubricity, or structural lubricity, is a state that has two contacting surfaces exhibiting no resistance to sliding. This effect has been theoretically described to be possible between two completely clean single crystalline solid surfaces.
