Graphene oxide dotted with nickel nanoparticles (Sc-Ni/GO) was synthesized by chemical deposition with the assistance of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO(2)). The deposited Ni nanoparticles with diameters less than 5 nm are uniformly anchored on the surfaces of GO nanosheets. The as-prepared Sc-Ni/GO composites were employed as lubricating additives in paraffin oil and their tribological properties were tested using a four-ball tribometer. The results demonstrate that the Sc-Ni/GO composites are efficient lubricant additives. Adding 0.08 wt % Sc-Ni/GO into paraffin oil can reduce the friction coefficient and wear scar diameter by 32 and 42%, respectively, in comparison with the pure oil. In addition, Sc-Ni/GO composites exhibit superior lubricating performances than nano-Ni, GO nanosheets, and Ni/GO composites produced without the aid of scCO(2). Such excellent lubricating properties of the Sc-Ni/GO composites derive from the synergistic lubricating actions of Ni nanoparticles and GO nanosheets during the rubbing process. The synergistic lubricating actions are closely related to the microstructure of the nanocomposites and the characteristic features of transfer film formed on the contact steel balls. The anchored Ni nanoparticles with smaller size and more uniform distribution on GO surfaces and the thin transfer film formed on the contact balls favor the full play of the synergistic actions.
