Ag nanoparticles tightly adsorbed on the surface of hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets

Caption

Ag nanoparticles attached to the surface of hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets enhance the load-bearing and lubrication capabilities of the nanosheets. The Ag-attached hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets are easily adsorbed and deposited to the friction interface to generate extremely low friction, which in turn induces the superlubricity.
