The lubricating and catalytic properties of two kinds of nano-MoS 2,namely nano-sphere and nano-platelet, were investigated. Results showed that the amount of nano-spheres with a low BET area in the contact area was not enough to lubricate the steel friction pair. However, MoS 2nano-platelets with a high BET area could well function as a powder lubricant.The high BET area also improved the catalytic activity of MoS 2nano-platelets. The findings indicated MoS2nano-platelets have potential applications in powder lubrication and photocatalysis.
