Silver Molybdate-Decorated Nanocomposites of Tin Diselenide for Improved Tribological Activity.

ABSTRACT: The tin diselenide (SnSe₂) nanosheets were prepared using the solvothermal method as an additive to enhance the wear and friction-reducing and load-carrying capacity of paraffin oil (PO). To further enhance the lubrication characteristics of SnSe₂ nanosheets (NSs), Ag₂MoO₄ nanoparticles (NPs) were incorporated through the in situ method. The separately prepared SnSe₂ nanosheets, Ag₂MoO₄ nanoparticles, and their nanocomposites (SnSe₂/Ag₂MoO₄) were characterized by p-XRD, FTIR, Raman, HR-SEM, EDX, TEM/HR-TEM, and XPS. The decoration of Ag₂MoO₄ nanoparticles onto SnSe₂ nanosheets hindered the process of restacking and decreased their tendency to
