Effect of Humidity on Friction and Wear—A Critical Review (2018, background): “The absorption is reversible and the friction is strongly dependent on the amount of water in the environment, which suggests that the adsorption of water onto MoS2 is physical rather than chemical [98,99].”
From two-dimensional materials to their heterostructures: An electrochemist's perspective (2017, background): “Frictional properties of MoS2 in relation to surface oxidation, moisture, and temperature have been studied extensively because of its use as a lubricant [85].”
Solid Lubrication with MoS2: A Review (2019, methodology): “The oxidized layers of MoS2 films can cause high friction during the run-in process; then, once the initial oxide has been removed, the friction drops to its low steady-state value as long as the oxide removal rate is higher than the oxidation rate in the system [101,102].”
