... and molecular dynamics simulations. Carbon nanospheres were synthesized using the hydrothermal method. Extensive comparisons were conducted between carbon powder and carbon nanospheres, focusing on material characterization, dispersion stability, antifriction performance, and antiwear capability. Findings...

... processes at the atomic scale. In this paper, the friction reduction and anti-wear mechanism of graphene/fullerene nanoparticles and the synergistic lubrication effect of the binary additive system were investigated by molecular dynamics simulations and tribological experiments. The friction performance...
