Abstract

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have emerged as promising materials in tribological applications due to their eco-friendliness, cost-effectiveness, and versatility. This study presents a bibliometric analysis using Scopus-indexed sources, combined with a comparative review of peer-reviewed experimental papers, to evaluate ZnO’s tribological performance against MoS₂, graphene/GO, TiO₂, and WS₂. Keyword co-occurrence mapping reveals three major research clusters: tribological behavior, material characterization, and lubricant-based systems. While ZnO generally exhibits moderate performance, it stands out for its compatibility with various materials and low environmental impact. These findings suggest ZnO’s growing potential in next-generation, sustainable tribological technologies.
