An engine oil additive includes carbon nanotubes and boron nitride particulates dispersed within a fluid. The additive is configured to be mixed with a quantity of oil such that the quantity of oil has a concentration from 0.05 to 0.5 grams of carbon nanotubes and of boron nitride particulates per quart of oil to improve the lubricity of the oil. The additive improves the horsepower and torque of the engine while reducing fuel consumption. The carbon nanotubes have an —OH functionalized exterior surface. The carbon nanotubes have a diameter from 1 nanometer to 50 nanometers and have a length from 1 micron to 1000 microns. The boron nitride particulates are hex-boron nitride structures having an average size from 30 nanometers to 500 nanometers.

The present disclosure relates to an anti-wear, anti-friction and stably-dispersed lubricating oil or grease, and the anti-wear, anti-friction and stably-dispersed lubricating oil or grease includes a main component of a lubricating oil or grease and a long carbon chain-grafted sulfonated graphene, the preparation method of which includes mixing a main component of a lubricating oil or grease with a long carbon chain-grafted sulfonated graphene, stirring and dispersing the mixture to obtain the product. The lubricating oil or grease in the present disclosure can significantly improve the long-term dispersion stability and dispersion stability in a complex environment by adding a long carbon chain-grafted sulfonated graphene in the main component, and at the same time can significantly improve the friction coefficient, which can significantly improve the anti-wear and anti-friction properties of the lubricating oil or grease, reduce the diameter of wear scars, and reduce the wear of copper and iron.

Embodiments described herein generally relate to compositions including discrete nanostructures (e.g., nanostructures including a functionalized graphene layer and a core species bound to the functionalized graphene layer), and related articles and methods. A composition may have a coefficient of friction of less than or equal to 0.02. Discrete nanostructures may have a substantially non-planar configuration. A core species may reversibly covalently bind a first portion of a functionalized graphene layer to a second portion of the functionalized graphene layer. Articles, e.g., articles including a plurality of discrete nanostructures and a means for depositing the plurality of discrete nanostructures on a surface, are also provided. Methods (e.g., methods of forming a layer) are also provided, including depositing a composition onto a substrate surface and/or applying a mechanical force to the composition, e.g., such that the composition exhibits a coefficient of friction of less than or equal to 0.02.
