Abstract

In the present study, a novel process of in-situ fabrication of graphene sheets on ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) film with aid of Au layer catalyst was designed. An in-situ ultra strong CC bonds are formed in the graphene-diamond interface under the action of heating, which can decrease the friction coefficient of the film. Besides, the friction-induced formation of graphene nano-scrolls play a pivotal role in achieving an exceptionally low friction coefficient of 0.025 for annealed Au/UNCD film. The potential structural formation mechanisms and frictional mechanisms have been discussed in detail. The achievement in this work provides a novel insight into the in-situ fabrication of graphene-diamond structure in mechanical fields with outstanding low friction coefficient and anti-wear performance.
