SiC@graphene sub‐microspheres decorated by floating flat‐blade graphene nanosheets are grown, for the first time, by a simple one‐step laser irradiation method. Due to the significant synergistic effect of superhard SiC spheres changing sliding friction into rolling friction effectively and self‐lubricating graphene preventing metal‐to‐metal direct contact by promoting tribofilm formation, such core‐shell submicrospheres as lubricant additives exhibit enhanced tribology properties. This is reported by Bingqiang Cao, Haibo Zeng and co‐workers in article number 1700839 .
