The radio frequency power supply is turned on, the power is set to 200 W, and the frequency is 13.56 MHz, and plasma activation treatment is carried out for 30 minutes. During the treatment process, hydroxyl and epoxy groups are generated on the material surface, and at the same time, the aggregation of nanosheets is inhibited by electrostatic repulsion.

A 10-kHz ultrasonic vibration with an amplitude of 5 μm is applied synchronously to prevent the stacking between two-dimensional material layers. The oriented slurry forms a pre-coating layer with a thickness of 20 ± 1 μm on the substrate surface, and the interlayer intercalation spacing is 0.34 nm.

The contact angle of the final coating is 152 ± 3°, and it still remains at 148° after 500 friction tests. The surface roughness Ra is 7.6 nm, and the root mean square roughness shown by AFM observation is 8.2 nm.
[0021] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. In the present invention, the charge density wave dynamic regulation mechanism of the graphene fluoride and transition metal chalcogenide heterostructure, combined with the stress buffering characteristics of boron nitride, constructs a slip interface with a low shear barrier at the atomic scale, significantly reducing the energy dissipation during the friction process. The three-dimensional interpenetrating network of helical carbon nanotubes and hyperbranched polymers not only effectively inhibits the stacking of two-dimensional materials, but also forms a multi-dimensional damage repair mechanism through the self-adaptive filling of the solid-liquid phase change of liquid metal and the boundary lubrication effect of nanodiamonds. The synergistic effect of this material system enables the coating to maintain ultra-low friction characteristics under wide-range working conditions, and at the same time has the composite protection capabilities of anti-wear, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.
[0022] 2. In the present invention, the integration of microfluidic directed assembly and energy field regulation technology solves the industrial problems of the dispersion orientation and interface bonding of two-dimensional materials. The gradient cross-linking process of ultraviolet curing and heat treatment not only ensures the denseness of the coating, but also retains the intrinsic lubrication characteristics of two-dimensional materials; the magnetic field-induced crystal orientation technology improves the utilization rate of the material slip plane to more than 3 times that of traditional processes. The super-smooth surface formed by plasma activation and ion beam polishing makes the contact stress distribution more uniform, significantly reducing the risk of fretting wear. Compared with traditional lubricating coatings, this system can still maintain stable lubrication performance in extreme environments such as high vacuum and high speed rotation and high temperature oxidation, and is particularly suitable for friction loss-sensitive fields such as aerospace precision bearings and micro power devices, and has important engineering practical value and industrialization potential.
