Abstract: In recent years, the discover of nano-carbon materials (such as fullerene, nanodiamonds, carbon nanotubes, graphene etc.) and the improvement of their preparation techniques have brought great advance for applying those novel nanomaterials in lubrication field. This review introduces the classification and preparation methods of nano-carbon materials, summarizes the research progress in utilizing fullerene, nanodiamonds, carbon nanotubes and graphene to fabricate lubricating additives, solid lubricating films and lubricating fillers, as well as the anti-friction mechanisms. Finally, it ends in some key issues for nano-carbon materials while serving as lubricating materials, and a prospect over the future development trends.
