Abstract
Superlubricity has drawn substantial attention worldwide while the energy crisis is challenging human beings. Hence, numerous endeavors are bestowed to design materials for superlubricity achievement at multiple scales. Developments in graphene-family materials, such as graphene, graphene oxide, and graphene quantum dots, initiated an epoch for atomically thin solid lubricants. Nevertheless, superlubricity achieved with graphene-family materials still needs fundamental understanding for being applied in engineering in the future. In this review, the fundamental mechanisms for superlubricity that are achieved with graphene-family materials are outlined in detail, and the problems concerning graphene superlubricity and future progress in superlubricity are proposed. This review concludes the fundamental mechanisms for graphene superlubricity and offers guidance for utilizing graphene-family materials in superlubricity systems.
