- Ethylene glycol (EG)-based lubricant was prepared with dissolved organosolv lignin from birch wood (BL) and softwood (SL) biomass. The effects of different lignin types on the rheological, thermal, and tribological properties of the lignin/EG lubricants were comprehensively investigated by various characterization techniques. Dissolving organosolv lignin in EG results in outstanding lubricating properties. Specifically, the wear volume of the disc by EG-44BL is only 8.9% of that lubricated by pure EG. The enhanced anti-wear property of the EG/lignin system could be attributed to the formation of a robust lubrication film and the strong adhesion of the lubricant on the contacting metal surface due to the presence of a dense hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) network. The lubricating performance of EG-BL outperforms EG-SL, which could be attributed to the denser H-bonding sites in BL and its broader molecular weight distribution. The disc wear loss of EG-44BL is only 45.7% of that lubricated by EG-44SL. Overall, H-bonding is the major contributor to the different tribological properties of BL and SL in EG-based lubricants.

- In this paper, bubble-on-plate structure is realized on hollow IF-MoS2/reduced graphene oxide (HIF-MoS2/RGO) nanocomposites. HIF-MoS2 nanocages templated with the generated ammonia (NH3) are connected to RGO through the interlayered MoS2. The as-prepared HIF-MoS2/RGO is added into an ionic grease to study the tribological behavior of HIF-MoS2/RGO. For comparison, commercial grade MoS2 nanoparticles, single RGO or HIF-MoS2 or their physical mixture are also studied. Tribological results show that, compared with other additives, HIF-MoS2/RGO nanocomposites have the best anti-wear properties especially under higher load of 3.0 GPa. The wear reduction of HIF-MoS2/RGO reinforced grease under 2.5 GPa and 3.0 GPa reached 67% and 96%, respectively. In addition, HIF-MoS2/RGO reinforced grease achieves much lower and stable friction coefficient (0.079, the value of neat grease is 0.098) under 3.0 GPa. HIF-MoS2/RGO reinforced grease maintains very low friction coefficient and wear up to 4.1 GPa, while the normal MoS2 and RGO show high wear at the pressure up to 3.0 GPa. It is proposed that HIF-MoS2 nanocages on RGO act as rolling balls during friction resulting in better separation of steels.

- Ionic liquids (ILs) attract high interest as lubricants or lubricant additives due to their special physicochemical characteristics. CO2 is a widely distributed gas. In many situations, its influence on lubricants cannot be avoided. In this work, three ILs are synthesized from choline and amino acids of glycine, l-proline and lysine, respectively. The influence of CO2 absorption on their solubility and lubricity is investigated. In general, it is interesting to find that the solubility is decreased and their lubricity is obviously improved after absorbing CO2, which is strongly related to their functional group (amino group) interactions with CO2. The formation of carbamate groups greatly increases the viscosity resulting in less solid contacts, and strengthens the interfacial adhesion between ILs and solids.
