  <dc:description>Two-dimensional materials are excellent lubricants with inherent advantages. However, superlubricity has only been reported in a few of them. It is a regret that other promising 2D materials with different physical properties cannot be discovered and applied in production so that energy consumption can be greatly reduced. Here we carry out high-throughput calculations for 1475 two-dimensional materials and screen for low-friction ones. To set a standard, we propose, for the first time, a geometry-independent frictional figure of merit based on the condition for stick-slip transition and our theory of Moiré friction. For the efficient calculation of this figure of merit, an innovative approach is developed based on an improved registry index model. Through the calculation, 340 materials are found to have a figure of merit lower than 10-3. Eventually, a small set of 21 materials with a figure of merit lower than 10-4 are screened out within them. These materials can provide diversified choices for applications. In addition, the efficient computational approach demonstrated in this work can be used to study other stacking-dependent properties.</dc:description>
