Abstract: The rapid development of micro-nano manufacturing technology has greatly promoted the miniaturization, intellectualization, and integration of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The microscopic scale and enhanced surface effect cause serious adhesion, friction and wear, which seriously affect the reliability and durability of MEMS. Unfortunately, these miniaturized devices cannot be lubricated with conventional liquid lubricants, because the viscous force and shear stress dramatically increase in the nanoscale gaps between friction pairs. So, surface modification, creating films with excellent mechanical properties and chemical stability on the surface of miniaturized devices, is considered to be effective strategy to resolve the tribological problems of microdevices. Graphene exhibits good chemical stability, excellent mechanical and lubricating properties, which can be used to prepare graphene nano-lubricating films and graphene-based nanocomposite lubricating films. These films could improve the adhesion, stiction, and friction problems, and increase the stability and durability of MEMS. In recent years, many important results have been obtained on the preparation and micro-/nano-tribological properties of graphene lubricating films and graphene-based lubricating films. In this paper, the preparation of graphene nano-lubricating films and graphene-based nanocomposite lubricating films are systematically introduced, and the micro-/nano-tribological properties of these films are summarized. It is pointed out that the problem existed now and more efforts should be made with respect to the research on graphene-based nanocomposite lubricating films.
