The physical properties of the resulting synthetic products were evaluated, and their tribological behaviors as the lubricants for an aluminum-on-steel sliding system were evaluated on an oscillating friction and wear tester, with the emphasis being placed on the effect of the O,O-diethylphosphonyl groups in the ionic liquid molecules on the tribological behaviors. Thus the friction and tests were conducted at a frequency of 25 Hz, a sliding amplitude of 1 mm, and for a duration of 30 min. The worn aluminum surface was analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the synthesized ionic liquids had better friction-reducing and anti-wear ability for the aluminum-on-steel system than their nonfunctionalized courterparts (1-ethyl-3-hexylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, coded as L206, and 1-propyl-3-octylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, coded as LP308). Especially, they had much better load-carrying capacity than L206 and LP308. The tribological behaviors of the synthetic lubricants were dependent on both the anions and the side-substituted alkyl chains attached to the imidazolium cations. Moreover, physical adsorption and complicated tribochemical reactions were involved during the sliding process of the Al-on-steel system under the lubrication of the synthetic functionalized ionic liquids, which led to the generation of physically adsorbing and chemically reacting films composed of five-member-ring complex compounds, metal fluorides, nitrogen oxide, and FePO4 on the rubbed Al surface. Those physically adsorbing and chemically reacting films contributed to effectively decrease the friction and wear of the aluminum sliding against steel.
