For example, tin (Sn) coating with a melting temperature of 232 C is commonly used in electrical connectors, which cannot sustain the high temperature process. In this study, reduced graphene oxide was prepared using a low-cost solution process and applied onto metallic terminals. The reduced graphene oxide (rGO) suspended in polyalphaolefin (PAO) base oil was coated on Sn terminals via a dip-coating method. Insertion force tests with and without the rGO coating were performed on Sn terminals. The reduction of friction between two sliding metal surfaces while preserving the same level of electrical conduction has been successfully demonstrated. Comprehensive characterizations with four-probe resistance measurements and Raman spectroscopy were performed. In addition, the authors carried out a systematic study of the lubrication effect from both PAO and rGO for comparison. Given the advantages of low-cost and simple synthesis processes, rGO in PAO solution can be employed to lubricate electrical terminals to significantly reduce insertion force while maintaining good electrical conduction.]]> Mon, 27 Sep 2021 09:59:04 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1847617 Seamless Solutions for Powertrain Systems https://trid.trb.org/View/1776872 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 17:47:47 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1776872 Evaluation of Trajectory Based Combustion Control for Electrical Free Piston Engine https://trid.trb.org/View/1702148 Sun, 31 May 2020 17:58:05 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1702148 The impact of changing the fuel dose on chosen parameters of the diesel engine start-up process https://trid.trb.org/View/1690390 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 15:58:27 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1690390 A New Co-Simulation Approach for Tolerance Analysis on Vehicle Propulsion Subsystem https://trid.trb.org/View/1653410 Tue, 22 Oct 2019 14:42:33 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1653410 Effect of Gaseous Hydrocarbon-Silicon and Load Current on Contact Resistance of Electromagnetic Relays https://trid.trb.org/View/1431259 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 17:08:59 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1431259 A Potential Application of Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters in Ship Electric Systems https://trid.trb.org/View/917696 Mon, 24 May 2010 14:07:54 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/917696 DIESEL MONSTERS TAKING SMALLER BITES https://trid.trb.org/View/657518 Mon, 10 Jul 2000 00:00:00 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/657518
