Article Description

Two-dimensional MoS nanosheets were synthesized by using halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) as template under the hydrothermal synthesis. The structure and morphology of the as-synthesized MoS nanosheets were determined by a series of characterizations. The results showed that the as-synthesized MoS nanosheets were of the plate-like structure with about five layers, and the basal spacing was about 0.63 nm. It was demonstrated that HNTs played a crucial template role in the formation of the plate-like MoS nanosheets. The formation mechanism was proposed. Furthermore, the tribological performance of the as-prepared MoS nanosheets in oil was intensively examined on the ball-on-ball wear tester. The testing results verified that the as-prepared MoS nanosheets as additive could significantly improve the friction performance of oil, which exhibited the good antifriction, antiwear, and load-carrying properties.
