Abstract
A lubricant additive may be synthesized by forming a nanohybrid of a transition metal dichalcogenide and a metal borate, forming a base oil, and then dispersing the transition metal dichalcogenide into the base oil. An exemplary nanohybrid may be synthesized by forming a first solution by adding a borax solution to an aqueous solution of a metal source, forming a second solution by adding ethanol to the first solution, forming a mixture by mixing the transition metal dichalcogenide with the second solution, and heating the mixture at a temperature of 180° C. to 230° C. and a pressure of 5 to 20 bar under a nitrogen atmosphere.
Claims12
A method for preparing a lubricant additive, the method comprising:
- synthesizing a nanohybrid of a transition metal dichalcogenide and a metal borate by:
- forming a first solution by adding a borax solution to an aqueous solution of a metal source, the metal source comprising at least one of an alkali metal halide and an alkaline earth metal halide;
- forming a second solution by adding ethanol to the first solution;
- forming a mixture by mixing the transition metal dichalcogenide with the second solution;
- and
- heating the mixture at a temperature of 180° C. to 230° C. and a pressure of 5 to 20 bar under a nitrogen atmosphere;
- and
- dispersing the synthesized nanohybrid into a base oil.
