In this study, we synthesize hydrophilic amine-based protic ionic liquids (PILs) with hydroxy groups in a cation and different anions. Subsequently, we evaluate the kinetic friction coefficients of iron oxide in aqueous solutions of the PILs under different sliding conditions. Ditriethanolamine malate, triethanolamine lactate, triethanolamine methoxyacetate, and triethanolamine acetate are used as PIL samples in this study. Among them, ditriethanolamine malate exhibits the lowest kinetic friction coefficient. As the number of sliding cycles increases, the excellent lubrication capability remains. Subsequently, we characterize the adsorption of the PILs on an iron oxide surface to investigate the lubrication behavior on the basis of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring and force curve data. We expect hydrophilic PILs to be excellent water-soluble lubricants and additives for use in metal surface treatments.
