Abstract

Excellent lubricating characteristics are shown by the solid lubricant MoS2, but due to its spontaneous oxidation and absorption of moisture from the air, it has low wearing resistance and a limited wear life. This study is the first to successfully mix the additive g-C3N4 with MoS2 using sophisticated microwave-assisted synthesis with controllable parameters in addition to traditional hydrothermal synthesis route. The conventional hydrothermal process takes longer than other approaches, such as microwave-assisted synthesis method. There was a lack of comparison between the two synthesis techniques in terms of pore size, morphology, and microstructure. This research evaluated the microstructure, morphology, surface area, and pore diameters of g-C3N4/MoS2 nanocomposite produced employing hydrothermal (g-C3N4/MoS2-HT) and novel microwave methods (g-C3N4/MoS2-MW).
