The wet chemical reduction method was used to modify polydopamine (PDA) functionalized oxygenated carbon nitride (O‐g‐C 3 N 4 ) nanosheets to prepare in situ growth of Cu nanoparticles (Cu NPs) decorated on nanosheets. The PDA attached to the surface of O‐g‐C 3 N 4 provided a uniformly distributed platform for copper nanoparticles. It also provided rich functional groups and provided good conditions for the dispersion of Cu/PDA/O‐g‐C 3 N 4 in pure oil. Through TEM testing, Cu NPs with a diameter of 5–10 nm were evenly distributed on the PDA/O‐g‐C 3 N 4 nanosheets. Through the sliding test on the steel surface, it was obvious that adding 0.2 wt % Cu/PDA/O‐g‐C 3 N 4 to pure oil had a lowest coefficient of friction. In addition, the wear marks on the surface of Cu/PDA/O‐g‐C 3 N 4 steel discs were studied with an optical microscope and a three‐dimensional profiler and its wear resistance was better than Cu NPs, O‐g‐C 3 N 4 and Cu/O‐g‐C 3 N 4 .
