Zinc dialkyldithiophosphates adsorption and dissociation on ferrous substrates: an ab initio study
Francesca Benini, Paolo Restuccia, Maria Clelia Righi
Zinc dialkyldithiophosphates (ZDDPs) have been commonly used as anti-wear additives in the automotive industry for the past 80 years. The morphology, composition and structure of t…
Solid-Lubrication Performance of Ti3C2Tx -- Effect of Tribo-Chemistry and Exfoliation
Andreas Rosenkranz, Bo Wang, Dario Zambrano +7
Multi-layer Ti3C2Tx coatings have demonstrated an outstanding wear performance with excellent durability due to beneficial tribo-layers formed. However, the involved formation proc…
Xsorb: a software for identifying the most stable adsorption configuration and energy of a molecule on a crystal surface
Enrico Pedretti, Paolo Restuccia, M. Clelia Righi
Molecular adsorption is the first important step of many surface-mediated chemical processes, from catalysis to tribology. This phenomenon is controlled by physical/chemical intera…
