  • The W-cluster reactive sites interaction model for WDLC coatings with ionic liquids
    Arshad, Muhammad Shahid ...
    This study investigates the use of 1,3-dimethylimidazolium dimethylphosphate ionic liquid (IL) additive in glycerol base oil for improving the lubrication-properties of tungsten-doped diamond-like ... carbon (WDLC) coatings. Tribological tests were conducted at various applied loads (5 N, 10 N, 20 N) and elevated temperature (100 °C), and the addition of 1 wt% of IL resulted in a significant reduction (∼50%) in friction-coefficient. In-situ neutron-reflectometry analysis revealed a multi-step tribofilm formation mechanism involving IL and W-clusters, resulting in the formation of a 1.24-nm thick tribofilm on the WDLC surface within the first 30-minutes of the friction experiment. The reaction kinetics for tribofilm formation are discussed involving dissociation of dimethylphosphate into dioxo-phosphate, which interacts with W-clusters to form tungsten phosphates and cations adsorbed on their surface.
