Ionic liquids: a brief history (2018, methodology): “as the lubricant itself, ionic liquids have been used as an additive for conventional lubricants (Phillips and Zabinski 2004).”
Oil-miscible and non-corrosive phosphonium-based ionic liquids as candidate lubricant additives (2012, background): “Early work was focused on imidazolium-based ILs with tetrafluoroborate (BF4) or hexafluorophosphate (PF6) anions and promising lubricating performance was demonstrated for a variety of bearing materials from bulk metal–metal and metal– ceramic contacts [1–5] to thin coatings [6–8].”
A Review of Ionic Liquids for Green Molecular Lubrication in Nanotechnology (2010, background): “The electric double layer can lead to a reduction of the coefficient of friction due to an improvement in the load carrying capacity of the lubricant [ 25 , 48].”
INNOVATIVE APPLICATIONS OF IONIC LIQUIDS AS “GREEN” ENGINEERING LIQUIDS (2006, background): “…of imidazolium-based ILs containing O,O-diethylphosphonyl groups on the alkyl chain for the aluminum on steel system (Mu et al., 2004), alkylimidazolium hexafluorophosphates for steel=steel contact (Wang et al., 2004a), [BMIM][PF6] and [EMIM][BF4] on ceramics (Si3N4) (Phillips and Zabinski, 2004).”
Boron in Tribology: From Borates to Ionic Liquids (2013, background): “Water with an admixture of these BILs significantly reduced the running-in period in tribotests from thousands to hundreds of cycles [170, 171].”
