Abstract
As a novel two-dimensional material, violet phosphorus (VP) has attracted a considerable amount of attention due to its high carrier mobility, anisotropy, wide band gap, stability, and easy stripping properties. In this work, the microtribological properties of partially oxidized VP (oVP) and the mechanism of reducing friction and wear as additives in oleic acid (OA) oil were studied systematically. When adding oVP to OA, the coefficient of friction (COF) decreased from 0.084 to 0.014 with the steel-to-steel pair, and the ultralow shearing strength tribofilm consisting of amorphous carbon and phosphorus oxides that formed resulted in the reductions of COF and wear rate individually by 83.3% and 53.9%, respectively, compared with those of pure OA. The results extended the application scenarios for VP in the design of lubricant additives.
