Summary

In recent years, considerable investigations have been focused on graphene/molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanocomposites due to their excellent lubrication performances. However, the poor dispersive stability limits their massive applications. This paper summarizes the preparation and dispersive behavior of graphene/MoS2 nanocomposites and discusses their tribological properties and the lubrication mechanisms. In addition, the challenges of the dispersibility and lubrication properties of graphene/MoS2 nanocomposites are also discussed. It has proved that the modified graphene/MoS2 nanocomposites present promising prospect in tribological applications.
