Great efforts have been made to further reduce the friction on atomically thin Two-dimensional (2D) materials as solid lubricants due to their exceptional tribological properties and mechanical strength. In this work, the friction of atomically thin graphene has been extensively and controllably reduced through pre-rubbing under high stress, resulting in a reduction of the friction coefficient by up to a factor of six compared to the pristine graphene. Also, this reduction can be reversed by reciprocating friction under moderate stress. Furthermore, high-stress pre-rubbing allows for patterning intentional lubricating features on atomically thin graphene, such as nanometer-sized letters. This reduction in friction is attributed to a decrease in the maximum sliding potential barrier, induced by enhanced interactions between graphene and the substrate due to charge transfer at the interface undergoing high stress, as revealed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. These findings present a practical methodology for optimizing and controlling the performance of atomically thin 2D materials, with significant implications for applications in engineering and nanofabrication, and even in information storage.
